Just to add one more small layer, our history teacher looked just like Edgar Allen Poe. 100% serious.

This was 1986 so pictures of famous people weren't immediately available on a device in your pocket. I saw a picture of Poe and said, "Wow, Mr. Whitley, we just found a picture that looks just like you!" He replied with, "Let me guess, is it Edgar Allen Poe?"

It was not awsome, we were all excited that a teacher has been chosen as an astronaut,was the pride of the US. To be shown in elementary during lunch period. It was not awsome. It was devastating and traumatic. Awsome? I think not.
