I was reading the Daily Sun one morning and it had done a feature story on a female pioneer in a mostly all male occupation. The location was familiar, the timeframe was my time, and when they listed what her maiden name was, lo and behold, it was someone I knew pretty well in high school but hadn't talked to or seen in over 30 years. We reconnected here in TV, have played golf, and had several other mini-reunions with other classmates passing through town.

Another time, I read an article about a local author...the name and face sounded familiar, I tracked him down and sure enough he was the same gentleman who was once a good friend of my Dad. I remembered him from when I was a child/teenager and hadn't seen him in 40 years.

I have had several other chance encounters in TV with people who had connections to my home town. Didn't take long to find mutual acquaintances.

Yes, our worlds do get smaller and smaller.
