Did anyone know Mr. Brzinski (not sure of spelling here), Norwood Tech College, waveguide theory lecturer in '69?
He was Polish, and a really good guy, with a difficult subject to teach on hot afternoons in a particularly stuffy classroom. I only ask, because I still, to this day, remember his huge smile, on entering the room, briefcase in hand, and how he would always hitch up one trouser leg, place that foot on a chair, grin hugely and announce:
"Good afternoon, gentlemen... everything in the garden is lovely, isn't it...."
First thing he did, first day, was to write his name on the blackboard, tell us not to worry if we couldn't pronounce it properly, and keep on with that huge grin as we all ran our tongues around the odd-sounding syllables.
Some good characters in our lecturers from those days, but Mr. B. stands out, and I hope he went on to have a good life after college days were done with.
