have you ever?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING,
'SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD?'
WELL THEN, YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS...
MY NAME IS ALICE SANTER, AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST...
I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME...
SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME THAT HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO...
COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?
UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT...
THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE...
BUT AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL ...
'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG,'
HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE...
'WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?'
I ASKED...
HE ANSWERED,
'IN 1959. WHY DO YOU ASK?'
'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!!!'
, I EXCLAIMED...
HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, GRAYHAIRED,................ ASKED ME,
