OK I have no shame

I cold called a student my mother taught 5 decades ago because I thought he could answer a question for me (and he did). He has to think I am beyond nuts (which is fine).

Memory lane.

I knew he would have no idea who I was but would remember my mother - since he talked to her last year. And I can establish real quickly who I am and that it is not a sales call.

That was fun!
