Puzzled and Saddened

Yes, I'm puzzled and saddened by a diatribe/resume published in our 50th high school class reunion souvenir booklet.  It was written by a former classmate who signs himself "...in all humility,"
His Name, PhD, DMH, MBA, BBA, CEO, PDJ, Inc., Vice President, Senior Class of 1960

He begins his diatribe by insulting the school, then continues on by insulting his former classmates as well. A few direct quotes:  "Many people can remember teachers berating non-conforming students through lackluster courses taught by authoritarians."  "If one part of the scenario was the teacher, the second part was our own indolence, laziness and hormonal imbalance."  I say, speak for yourself, pal.

He goes on in this vein for 6 printed pages.  Yes, 6. The latter half is devoted to his own accomplishments peppered with the names of every prominent person he has ever encountered as well as quotes from the likes of Gen. Eisenhower, Thomas Wolfe (whose name he misspelled)  and Kipling.  Is he assuming that this is the first time we've heard these?  I get the feeling he considers himself the only truly educated and enlightened person from our class.

He did not attend our reunion this past weekend because and I quote, "I believe my schedule won't accommodate the reunion date." He did however, hope we all had a wonderful time.  I remember him as a pretty nice guy.  Maybe a little bit of a pompous ass back then, but it now seems that he's a bitter, judgemental, namedropping pompous ass with a superiority complex.
