The gay JM professor hijacked the thread.
A week later I shared the story with a good buddy. He was an accounting major. I figured no way he knew about this guy. He immediately recognized who I was talking about. He'd had the guy in a JM elective course. Same MO. Come on over and let me help you with the project. He fell for it.
He was on his second vodka gimlet and in the bathroom relieving himself when the slider to the bedroom cracked open and in popped the smiling professor. My buddy freaked and immediately bolted.
This guy wasn't exactly subtle in his stalking of students. He stalked women, too, anything that walked. It wasn't until the early '80s that his serial advances caught up with him in a series of complaints that got him fired. It's amazing really that he lasted that long, but he was very charismatic. He could talk his way out of a box.
After I came to the realization he was all talk -- I got an A in his class in spite of having to threaten twice to beat his ass -- I eventually found the guy to be hilarious, esp living with the gay Gator football player who was about 6-5 and 280. That dude was huge.
It all sounds crazy in retrospect, and it was, but that was G'ville in the '70s. Just about anything went.
