Ironically enough, the guy that sat next to me at HS graduation (and was stoned at the time) turned out to be chief of detectives in our town by the time our 10 year reunion happened...guess he decided to be a narc as a career enhancer, at some point,,,AND...ALL eyes were on him at the “After the reunion, lets go drink in Muffy’s garage” party
