Trivia Question!
(UPDATE: answered below)
Who took pride in drawing perfect circles freehand?
This person would walk up to the chalk board. A zen like calm would fall over him/her. Hand poised with chalk. A brief moment of stillness. Then suddenly, after a brief twitch, the chalk would strike the chalkboard and form an arc, then back to where it started. A perfect circle would be left behind. Sometimes a smile, occasionally a comment ‘look at that’.
OK, time to answer this one. Thanks for Pam for making a guess.
My friend Bruce Thomson (dmci grad) were watching Shock Treatment, and more specifically, to a song by Farley Flavors. In there is a line “And who draws a perfect circle, anymore?” Well we knew, and we both yelled out …
Mr. Bachinsky!
Yep. He took pride in those cirlces. It was amazing to watch. For years I would try to duplicate his success. I would occasionally get one perfect. But only Mr. Bachinsky could do it every time.

I’m guessing Stephen Yurkiw

good guess, I can see that, but nope, not Stephen Yurkiw. (are his ears burning?)
I’ll add a clue. It’s a teacher. If you didn’t have this teacher, it might make this hard to guess. If you did have this teacher, I hope you were paying attention!
