Let me tell you all a story(That i have NEVER spoken to anyone about, till now).

In 1979, When I was in 5th. grade, we had a gym teacher, that was an italian guy, named Marcione, or so. He hated me. The fact that I was not that much into sports, and such. well, Like Pcottraux... that just made him all the more encouraged to belittle and harass me.

One time, he even wailed a soccer ball at me, full force, and I jumped before it hit the wall.

BUT. that is not the part I have never shared..... This is.

One day, near the end of my 5th grade class, we had a "field day", where, we all "fooled around", with various sport events and such. me, I pretty much just "watched", things.
Mr. Marcione did not really bother me about it, either....his mind was elsewhere.

A girl, IIRC her name was Erica something, was panting and exhausted, after a run or something. I had went to get a drink of water. I saw Mr. Marcione Giving her a VERY sensual massage, while she was taking a drink of water, and he was repeating"nice and easy....nice and easy.... nice and easy.." over and over again, as he deeply massaged her back and shoulders. At the time I guess I didn't think much about it.

Nowdays, I think he was probably doing it to "get off", as he seemed to enjoy it a LOT!! I DON'T think a man could do that to a 10 year old or so girl today, in a public school!!!!!

That's a powerful story in gym class.I was in adaptive physical ed myself which was a good thing, a smaller class and so on. We did things like archery and weightlifting most of the other students didn't do so that was cool. We only had like 3 or 4 students so when we were in the weight room, I took in my ghetto blaster, this huge 1979 Radio Shack SCR-3 I have, for some tunes and we exercised to that as we listened to the latest 80's tunes. I could even fit it in my gymbag too, even next to the Ricochet Racer gun (if you read my story for physics class), boy that sucker was heavy. B-) Ran on 8 D batteries too. It was very fun and you got more attention that way.

My buddy I stll hang with topped me though, he was into "portable computing" even before laptops came out, even before the "luggable" Osborne 1 computer. He had a TRS-80 Color Computer I, a 5 inch B&W TV for a monitor, and a cassette tape deck for the programs all stashed away in his gymbag/backpack. He must have thought he was Arnold Schwartzenegger or something, tell you the truth, I think he still thinks that way. B-)

I figure it was time for a good story in school plus a little laughs on the side. B-)
