Humanities

You've told a story about a teacher you once had, or maybe an old friend you've long since lost contact with. If you find yourself in that situation, or if you know someone in that situation, consider reaching out to them. Let them know you still remember them fondly. 

I did that back in 2018. I reached out to my freshman chemistry professor from 1974-1975: Professor Luther Brice. I sent him a letter, an email, thanking him. My letter was intended just for him, just to let him know. A simple gesture. It sparked a correspondence and we also became FB friends. 

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...

Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...

-- William Hughes Mearns 1899
