I had enough difficulty with Arizona State changing to a +/- system, making an A a 93%!

It is great for all of those 97%+ students, though.

Not it!

My Pa had one at Cal State Hayward. Math professor, I think. He boasted on day one that he had never given an A in his whole teaching career. My Pa earned a B+ and my Pa bitterly blames him for having merely the 2nd best gpa of his graduating class.

I sense some embellishments mixed with a desire to not really push him on that. The same way I am afraid to probe him for some of his Vietnam experiences in MAC-V SOG.
