A story about my BF's Grandaddy

Dedicated to Jack- Never forgotten, always loved:

Written by her grandmother:
Going through some old papers the other day I read some of Jack's class assignments and one I had to laugh over all over again. Now some of you are old enough to remember Jack who died in August 2000, we did not quiet make it to the magical 50 year marriage but for 47 years he was a great husband, father, and a friend to all.
When Jack retired from the army in 1971, he decided to go back to college and earn a degree in education and then teach for a few years at least until the magical age 62 when one could draw their social security. He found that he absolutley loved college...looked forward to going to class...loved doing "homework" writing papers, researching and more writing and more writing. He went on and earned a Master's Degree and also had a great time. If there had been a doctoral program at AC at that time I am sure he would have gone for that one also.
ONe day he came home, said that the Professor has given the class an assignment to write an article on the firefighters fire resistant pants, and he was going to the library to do some research on asbestos being used for fire retardant materials. Gone all afternoon, and came home and on our old typewriter finished up his article, handed it in the next day, and then the next day, the professor gave all the students back their papers and Jack got an A+.
The Prof asked of Jack, "Mr. E, I made a copy of your paper, and with your permission would like to read it to the class", of course Jack said ok, and so the teacher read the paper, the class began laughing, whooping, and some even had tears running down their face. The assignment which was still written on the blackboard, was to write an article on "HOT PANTS"
He came home laughing at himself, for those of you who are very young in the late 70s, girls did not wear bermuda shorts, but very very very short...hot pants. one could call this joke on Jack, a generational gender fling.
