I know someone famous! *Doh!*

In the Spring of 1999 I did my student teaching at Robert's Middle School in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. My cooperating teacher's name was Brian Ebie. He was very well liked by the students; so much so, in fact, that I had a hard time with them because no matter what I did I wasn't as much fun as Mr. Ebie.

Well, obviously I wasn't anywhere near as much fun as Mr. Ebie because apparently a student was having sex with him soon after I graduated! Here is the story. The strange thing is that I probably know who this girl is. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know for sure who she is, but I do have a strong suspicion her first name starts with "A" and ends with "y".

Here's my story...

Brian and I had very similar interests, but everything about him was bigger and better. I wanted to be a music teacher, he was a music teacher. I had a Apple laptop, he had a better Apple laptop. I am mildly tall and have thin dark hair and a goatee, he is taller with fuller dark hair and a big goatee. I am generally likeable, he was loved by all. We were even both members at different Disciples of Christ churches. I think you get the pattern here.

Well, one day he was going in to teach class and was having some problem with his laptop (I honestly don't remember what it was) so I offered to run some diagnostics on his machine and he cautiously accepted. Had he just said "Sure! Thanks!" then I wouldn't have been suspicious, but his hesitation made me curious. But, I didn't want to get into anything like finding his secret pr0n stash while I was working at a Middle School, so I let it go. As I was running diagnostics on his hard drive, I saw a bunch of JPEG files in a directory called "My Girls" that was buried way down deep inside other folders, giving the impression that he didn't want casual browsers to find it (I think it goes to show how odd I found this discovery because I remember the name of the folder but not the problem I was trying to fix). Anyway, my curiosity got the better of me and I looked at some of the photos in this folder. Not too surprising were photos from the internet of some young, pretty, female movie stars in various states of dress, all of which would be considered somewhat normal for movie stars on covers of magazines and such. What was far more surprising were the photos of other young women. There were photos of some students I didn't recognize as well as some that I did because they were his current students! And, yes, at least one photo existed of the girl I suspect was his prey. Mind you, all of the photos I saw - if viewed out of this particular context - would have been considered completely normal. But having them all together buried as they were.... it was curious to say the least.

Anyway, I didn't say anything to anyone because, well, there was nothing explicit there. In fact, it was the implicit meaning of such a directory with such photos that made me remember the situation.

So, there it is. The one famous person I know. How embarrassingly sad.
