My daughter had a Chem teacher “Doc”. They were in their newly refurbished classroom two weeks before Doc blew up an experiment and stained the ceiling. His first period class got hot chocolate. He celebrated Pi Day. Doc was loved and regularly visited by graduated kids.

That was when I was a new librarian in the Free Library system. When the strike was ended, I got laid off because Mayor Rizzo wanted to close the library. I eventually got called back, almost 2 years later

I was walking by a hotel in Boston on a January morning and noticed a guy with two big bodyguards on the steps. Our eyes met, nods and “good mornings”, he said it was cold, I said “sure is”. Moment over. I figured out later that it was Russell Crowe, as the Globe said he was staying there
