    It is a fine bust. He must have been pleased to see his student succeed.

    I bet he was a fun teacher. No one with that kind of mustache could be too serious. :)

    I agree with Halcyon. He looks nice and even has a mischievous gleam. Maybe I'm just imagining it, it's too early after a week without an alarm clock, lol!

    Yes, I too think there is a little smile hiding behind that mustache.
