So he is famous amongst those he taught - hopefully for the right reasons

He was a fabulous teacher, but retired now. I think its sad how you lose touch with teachers. I would love to see him again and let him know how I was doing, he always thought very highly of me.
In fact, once he embarrassed me in front of the whole class for my poor attendance by reading out my CAT score and saying how it was the best in my year and I should be getting A's. Shame I never listened.
