He's met Cindy Crawford and that's good enough for me.

The "Lesson Plan" film trailer in this link shows teacher Ron Jones, some of people who attended Cubberley around the same time I did (most are a few years younger than I am) and a few shots of the high school I attended. I was not in Ron Jones class but my girl friend was and Mr. Jones allowed me sit in on his classes a few times. Director Philip Neel was a high school friend of mine.
