Jelly Deans: Not a world of jell-o

In the 1970s jell-o arrives in Greece, to become the top trend for parties and children’s snacks alike.

James Dean (much loved by my parent’s generation) leaves our world in 1955, too early to be commemorated on jell-o, on a Greek platter.

( I know I have not seen one)

J.Dean: Never carved in Jell-o.

 

Dean (education)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In academic administration, a dean is a person with significant authority over a specific academic unit, or over a specific area of concern, or both. They usually run universities or colleges, but some deans are present in middle schools and high schools as well.

I have known no dean as yet, that has associated his reputation with anything related to Jell-o.
