He thought of going out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or driving 15 miles to see an old he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and was never dull when he was . With him there was one wild after another. Sometimes I wonder how we to study for our exams.

Last week I was in Houston on business and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel. , I wasn’t even sure it was . Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed!
