A Saying on Cheating, by a Man Long Gone
My eighth-grade science teacher, Mr. Coy Ferguson, used to quote this adage:
"He who cheats, cheats he who."Mr. Ferguson was one of my best teachers, and I still remember things he said. I used to go and see him in his little town of Oxford, Arkansas, about 10 miles south of my hometown of Salem.
He died while I was pursuing an education off in the world somewhere, so I never got to see him after I went away to distant lands to study for my higher degrees.
Since he died in 1997, according to this gravestone that I've found, I reckon I was in Australia, halfway around the world.
RIP, Mr. Ferguson. I'm only twenty years late.

He was truly a great teacher. I remember his sayings and the one time he convinced us there was heat in the building although the boiler was really broken.

I had forgotten that. Thanks for the memory.
