Kwaku Sarpong? My Year 8 Chemistry teacher? If Mike remembers, was he African and bald?

According to my notes, he was a Ghanaian living in London. Can't remember whether he was bald, but I have a sneaky feeling he may have been. On the other hand, it was nearly 18 years ago and my memory isn't that good and he may have lost some (more) hair by now.

Yes, sounds like him...
