Comrade Mali

You have to check out his poetry. He was my freshman writing teacher at Kansas State University in 1992. I always knew there was something about this guy. He is the onlyt reason that I can spell "definitely" correctly.

Dude, that is cool. I have seen a few of his things on youtube. This one on teachers was one of my favorites. I didn't know he had KState connections!

One of my freshman papers was about a group of us pillaging through an old hotel in Dodge. Mr. Mali gave me an A plus and put it in the KState Expository Writing Magazine for that year...

I still say to this day he was the best teacher I ever had. And not only that, but he was technically my first professor ever in college,as it was an early class.
When he came in the room he wrote 2 things on the board. The first was "Comrade" as that is what he wanted us to call him. And the 2nd was "definitely" as he state that "if we learn anything in this class, at least we learned how to spell this word correctly.

A great man.
