Could be an interesting semester

I guess it was just a matter of time...


Dan is an MBA student at Wingate, and Pete is teaching an MBA class at Wingate.... so sooner or later they were bound to end up in the same classroom (well, sooner in this case, since Dan planned his schedule out to purposely take Pete's class... probably for the sole purpose of wanting to make Pete nervous while he works.)


So this fall both Pete and Dan head off to Econ class each Wednesday night. Before the first class, Pete said he was going to make an effort to not let the other students know that Dan was his brother-in-law. So I told him I would give him 10 bucks if when he called the role for the first time, he said, "Daniel WARY." (a name we Wray's heard a surprisingly high amount of times at the beginning of each school year in the initial role calls)


So he did it.


Then, after class at home when we was reading through the list he had passed around the class asking for the students' email addresses, he found that Dan had listed his as yourmom@frankfamily.com. Thankfully he was the last student to sign the list.


And the next day Pete got an email from him with the subject line, "here's what you look like when you're teaching" and this picture was attached, taken obviously by Dan's cell phone when Pete had no idea:

Pete says it just shows how expertly quick he is with an eraser.

So we'll see how this semester goes... I do know that when it's over Pete plans to head over to Dan's office and just sit and watch him work for a few days. And I'm sure he'll be happy to fill out an evaluation form for him when he's done.
