After he retired
and unsuccessfully
moved to Virginia
to be near his sister
and her family,
Mr. Oliverio
returned to California
to live in
Long Beach
While he was still solvent,
he vacationed in
Eugene, Oregon
His first morning there
—at a four-star hotel—
he noticed two school busses
in the parking lot
A middle-aged man explained
that his son and twenty
of his classmates
were in a state-wide
forensics competition at
Oliverio followed the busses
to observe the debates
and fell in love
with the school
He cheered boisterously
for his hotel-mate students
than walked around the campus
where there was no shortage
of young snatch
like I used to be
But his second-most
satisfying moment
happened when
Paul arrived at this door
The most satisfying moment
was on the other side
of this door
when a thick volume
of math research papers
published in
included his research
that was originally
developed for
Jefferson students
with one of them
[Mario Hernandez]
actually having his name
hidden in
the deep, dark, dusty
attic of a
university library
