It was 1972. Five of us girls (from upstate NY) rented a BIG canvas tent, to go camping in Cape Cod. Luckily, five guys pulled into the site next to us (luckily, because we had no idea how to put up that large tent). The guys put it up for us. Nice group, visited our tent at night, played their guitars and we all sang songs. Turned out that one of those guys was a cousin from Connecticut, who I never even knew existed.

Another time, I was in Walt Disney World and ran into a guy who worked at Roswell Park Cancer institute. We had only recently completed contract negotiations with each other.

Another incident involved Talk of the Villages. A couple years ago, a fellow posted on here that he was considering letting someone stay at his home (free) for a couple months, in exchange for taking care of his cats and home while he and his wife travelled for a couple months. I immediately responded, offering myself to be the one to do this. Ended up that it was the home and owners who I previously rented from for a month or two, over a three year period! What a coincidence! And, I'm going to have the same opportunity this year!
