“You know when you’re young particularly you don’t think behind the wall of the teacher’s face too much. I think he, in some respects with the Snack Bar conversations and being in a house, exposed himself more than most teachers. But I’m not sure that he exposed more of himself. I think I remember, didn’t he drive a Ford Falcon or something like that? Just the fact that he owned a car and drove it seems so mortal in a way. People would just talk about that, you know? I suppose speculation about his private life. I think at one point somebody thought they’d seen him with a woman on campus or off campus, something like that–fodder for much discussion, although I think never confirmed actually, so they never followed up on it.
