17.When I was in middle school,I found out that my Algebra teacher Mrs.McClure had gone to high school with Dad.
"Gertrude McClure!"my dad said as he pointed at her picture in my yearbook."Same Old Gertie."He told me to tell Mrs.McClure that he said hello."When she finds out,you're my kid,it will blow her mind!"he said.
When I told Mrs.McClure so,she asked me."What's your dad's name?"
"David MUrphy,"I answered.
"I don't believe it!"she said.
"What was my Dad like in school?"I asked Mrs.McClure.She explained that dad wasn't really known for having an active interest in his studies.Unlike my dad,I had more than an active interest in my studies.I was in an eighth grade math class even though I was a seventh grader,and I was on both the math team and the academic games team.I won first place in a national championship and I firmly believed that maybe those flavor of achievements would qualify me for 2.9% financing on a mortgage (按揭),a six-figure job or at least,get me some kind of prize for being a good person.
This was the first time that I had noticed that my dad and I didn't really have a lot in common except that we both liked to read and we had the same group of relatives.
Dad was on the football team and in the drama club.He was in the Air Force and was the kind of guy that made friends everywhere he went.I remember once when I was little,a bunch of British sailors from the HMS Ark Royal coming over to our very small mobile home one day.They played darts (飛鏢),barbequed,and talked funny things.I loved it.I figured since my dad had been in the armed forces,he must have known them from then.But later in life,I realized that my dad was in the Air Force stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War and these guys were in the British Navy during peacetime docked in South Florida.The odds (可能性) that he knew them were slim.I asked my mom how Dad knew all these guys.My mother told me,"We took the public tour of the ship and you know your dad."
