“Cobol is Fun!” That
was the enthusiastic claim made the first evening by the instructor in the
COBOL class that I was taking with my friend Scott at the College of San Mateo. I'm certain that Scott and I exchanged a derisive rolling of the eyes. If COBOL was fun he was going to have to prove it. A
few weeks in and we knew that he was either a liar or just plain loony. With his stout frame cloaked in a bright red
blazer Scott and I immediately christened him Hank Stram after the coach of the
Kansas City Chiefs football team who wore a similar red blazer while roaming the sidelines. It seemed to us that there could only be two men in the entire world who would wear a scarlet blazer. One because it was his team's color and the other because he apparently had no fashion sense.
