I remeber him, I was in his class one day and we got in trouble for writing stuff of the board. He kept us in while they practiced for the teacher student basketball game. He also use to bet at a appetizing store on new lots ave.
: Does anyone recall Richard Kalman the math teacher and his colored chalk. he would spend 45 minutes talking about frank sinatra, al jolson, baseball or anything else that was on his mind and then minutes before the bell rang, answer the opening math problem, and teach lesson.We used to feed him topics just to hear his discourse. How about Mrs. Jacobson the French teacher. I would still like to know what she was going on about in French. Maybe I should have taken Spanish. Oh well.
