I like it, Marlene. Did they really have those last names??? Were they teased about it?? Sort of like a Mainer having lobstertrap for a namr.

I loved this story, just shows what a small world it is! This sort of thing happens around here all the time a VERY rural America happening. My parents and I were on a ship bound for Europe, and my dad being a chattty friendly guy struck up a conversation with a priest on deck....turned out the priest, who was on his way to Rome to study was the son of customers of my fathers! My Dad was thrilled and amazed, he thought he was so far from home. Interesting that this nice story gets no comment , yet the squares request went on for days.
Not to worry. I really enjoyed that cute little story, thanks for sharing it!

I enjoyed it too, especially since Danielle and I were wondering if our families had ever met. Turns out that there are relatives from both of our families in the same areas.....would definitely be odd, but in a good way.

Well I have an odd one too, if anyone cares to read (I won't be offended at all).
My DH and I met in college. He grew up in Roanoke, VA and I grew up in Richmond, VA. We found out that our grandparents lived on the same street in MD as children before the Great Depression.
As I got to know his grandmother (who raised him) she was telling me how she grew up in Baltimore before the Great Depression. Well I knew that my grandfather had also been born and raised in Baltimore. So I talked to my grandfather about where exactly he grew up- Dundalk, MD in fact. Well my DH's grandmother grew up in Dundalk (very small shipyard town). My DH's grandmother remebmers my grandfather's older sisters (acquaintaince and play friends) living on the same street as she did before her family moved to the Virginia countryside to "weather out" the Depression on a farm. My grandfather's family didn't move from the area but he ended up in the Norfolk, VA shipyards before he married.
Anyway, that is my quaint "small world" story.
