That is curious. Especially because the professor quoted in the story went into all sorts of detail. How could you not remember the guy and then suddenly remember all that detail about bricks and stuff? Was he enrolled under a different name?
I am completely mystified by this. I can think of some reasons--maybe the prof couldn't remember immediately, maybe someone jogged his memory--and other less noble reasons. Or maybe I remember the footage or the prof's name wrong--if so, I'm hoping PKM can either confirm what I recall, or help with my recollections. One of the headliners on the newscasts was that no one remembered him. Of that, I am absolutely positive.
