Told this story before maybe 2 or 3 times Its 5th period and I am a junior in world history at Archbishop Stepinac HS in White Plains NY . I just found out one of the main characters of this story passed away and my buddies didn't tell me. Jim had passed away I was still in NY but had gone to a different HS as a Principal They claim they tried to locate me for the wake and funeral . Still mad they didn't contact me . I found out last year on the Stepinac HS website of people that have passed away in my class of 1969 .. here I am in Austin Texas and found out Jimmy passed away before I moved to Texas. anyway here the story
Its 5th period and Father Tobin is our teacher. He is lecturing on Magellan of Spain circumnavigating the world BUT he is killed in the Philippines by natives but his ships got back to Spain so he is still credited with being the 1st to circumnavigate the world Drake came a few years later
Well Jimmy B is sitting right in front of me sound asleep . Father Tobin whose nickname was the Duck because of the way he walked or waddled when he walked came up to Jimmy and said " Jimmy my boy as Jimmy now woke up . When Magellan got back to Spain what did the Queen do to him Now everyone in the room knew Magellan was killed in the Philippines . But Jimmy answered with confidence and said " she knighted him" And then father Tobin took a wheel house swing and smacked Jimmy across the face and said " I knight thee. I felt the wind of the swing sitting directly behind Jimmy . It was a round house swing . To this day I could be in a old folks home with dementia or alhizmores and not know my own wife and kids but if some asked where did Magellan die I would look up and say " the Philippines"
Jimmy had that red mark on his face the rest of the day and was asked by 100's of students " what happened to your face? Jimmy answer was always I fell asleep in the Ducks history class. But when Jimmy got home his father who was a Sargent in the Port Chester Police Dept at dinner said " Jim why does your face have a red welt on it? Jimmy said looking for maybe some condolences said he fell asleep in class and Father Tobin slapped me. Mr B looked at his son and said " good don't fall asleep in class,can you pass the salt "
wow Corporal punishment at its best but it works, Back then we were had a catholic education and corporal punishment worked You couldn't do that today but I was an alter boy and still know all my Latin prayers .. Last year for Christmas I was give Alexia the magic box My wife and kids set it up To see if it worked I asked " Alexia,where did magellan die" ? It answered in the Philippines and i knew Alexia was a great gift. Jimmy B I have told that story so many times and we all laughed over the years I hope you are looking down on us We had so many good times growing up and then you went to Bowling Green and me to North Texas. And of course you and everyone else went to Woodstock but I didn't listen to you and worked at the amusement park to make some extra money that summer OMG what a fool I was and will always remember where Magellan died I always wonder up there in the clouds do you ever see someone waddling up there in the clouds . But my favorite part of that story was when you said your father said " pass the salt" RIP Jimmy B

It was 1977 and my Dad moved us for the sixth time. This time it was Kansas City. I was turning 16 that summer and played the rebel. Mom offered to take me to get my drivers license and I told her to screw off. I planned to run away back to my sophomore buddies in my old town.
On the good side, it was George Brett and Ed Podolak. My high school was forward thinking. We had a smoking lounge and air conditioning. One day in study hall this chick sits next to me and I?m acting all natural because she is super hot and none of the party chicks in my school wore bras in those days. Her name is Shelley and she is a model for Loves Baby Soft which was a teenie perfume back in those days. Shes got long blonde hair and looks at you all sparkly in her cottony blouses.
We talk small I guess and she continues to sit with me day-after-day at our table. I remember it was a science classroom, because the tables were tall and there were sinks and bunsen burners and dead frogs and fetal pigs everywhere. So one day she says, ?Do you like horseback riding??
?Of course,? said I.
?Well why don?t you pick me up Saturday morning and we can go to my family?s farm and ride horses.?
Fucking A! I get home from school and tell my Mom, ?We gotta go get my drivers license right now!? I pass the tests with record scores and buy mouthwash and Fourexes at the Revco. But then, that Friday, Shelley says in study hall to me: ?It?s not going to work out this weekend. I?m sorry.?
I was floored. She cancelled our date and the next thing you know, I see her in the smoking lounge with this biker kid. Complete with chain drooping leather jacket and 17 year old facial hair. He looked like fucking Serpico and has a motorcycle. She went bad boy on me.
I sneaked dad?s scotch and bensen and hedges from then on and learned what it was like to be a man. I cried to 52nd Street, Aja and Ram and then I bought some hash off a guy named Richard in the smoking lounge. You forget the Shelleys over time and meet the next braless chick and all I can say is it was worth it.
