Pauline and I are sharing "It's a Small World" story tonight. I met a waitress at Rotterdam Square Mall today that is from around where Pauline now lives.To make a long story short, her hubby was youth pastor at Pauline's church in Mississippi and Pauline knew him. You just never know.......

I am still amazed about this Karen!!  

SAL AND I WERE IN A AIRPORT GOING HOME. i STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION WITH THE GUY NEXT TO ME. ASKED HIM WHERE HE WAS HEADED, HE SAID  A SMALL TOWN IN UPPER NYS. WELL WHERE SAID I, HE SAID "CAMBRIDGE" WE LAUGHED AND SAID WE WERE GOING TO SHUSHAN. I WISHED I COULD RECALL HIS NAME.

When my daughter and I arrived at the airport in Fort Myers a few weeks ago, we got on the elevator with Mr & Mrs Leone who were there to pick up their daughter and son-in-law.  I never thought to ask if they had been on the plane down with us.  

Who married Susan Horton?

I've got another one. Back in the early '70's, Janet Tully and I were at Disney in Orlando. When we got up to leave the Hall of President's show, a daughter of Mrs. Ruth Hudson-CCS English teacher, had been sitting in front of us. I can't remember which daughter is was.

Thure, did Susan Horton marry someone from Salem??

Yes , I was thinking Allen McNiel

Yup, that's him Thure.

Flying back from cambridge I asked the lady next to me where she was going . She said she had been to a small town in N.Y.--- Cambridge! visiting Charles Bowler,s daughter. SMALL WORLD!

This was a number of years ago when my girls were on their high school swim team here in Lakeland, FL.  At one of their swim meets, I discovered that the coach on the opposing high school team was from Cambridge and a good friend of one of Hazel & Francis Lentz's daughters.  Can't remember the name just now.

And a few years ago I discovered that Barbara Moss Gannon, who attended CCS (Class of '61) and now lives in Greenwich with hubby Bob Gannon, went to Florida Southern here in Lakeland.  I took some pictures of her old campus and sent them to her to show her the changes that had taken place over the years.

It sure is a small world!

Mr Bovie (?) used to be the music teacher for the CCS band. He was always trying to teach us to march like a real marching band.  Sometime during high school he left.

When I was a freshman in college on Long Island, I went to a JET game at Shea Stadium.   The marching band entertaining at half time was under the direction of Mr. Bovie. I remember thinking at the time - he finally got his 'marching' band.  Small Word.

At a recent gathering of some of my classmates, Dave Craig-'66, told us that he is retired but does some parttime work in the income tax business. A client came in who had a familiar voice to David. During their conversation he realized  he was talking to George Leyden who was one of our high school social studies teachers. I guess Dave had not introduced himself completely but in the conversation mentioned he was from Cambridge and  Mr. Leyden asked if he knew Dave Craig. Oh my, what a moment for each of them. They had quite a chat after that.  

In Nov. 1970 I flew into Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam and as I approached the reception building I came face to face with Ernie Weir from Greenwich. Very surprised. Ernie and I put down a few at the "O" not long before that.  Four days later, after a 9 hour convoy ride to the Central Highlands. I checked into my Unit ( D co. 815th Engineers ). The person that signed me in was Bobby Sprague also from Greenwich and the "O".   The "O" was a famous meeting place I'd guess.  Web

About ten 15 years ago, I was helping a friend out at his office. While working in the front reception area on a computer, in walks a customer.  This was a drapery workroom and he was there to check on an order for his wife.  While he was waiting we struck up a conversation.  Turns out he was from Greenwich.
I mentioned that my Uncle was one of the Feenan boys.  He said he knew his mother Bridget.  I also mentioned my grandparents (Latrell's ) and great grandmother (Octavia Thibodeau).... Mind you I made it pretty darn clear she was my GREATgrandmother....
He said he remembered her also, but the next words out of his mouth were, "you know she's dead don't you?"..... I had a hard time holding back, but I was thinking to myself, "well, yea.... she was MY greatgrandmother after all")  About that time he was called back into the workroom and I didn't get a chance to speak to him again.  I was so tickled that I never did get his name, and it has been driving me crazy all this time......

Hubby and I attended a wedding over the weekend. The bride is a college friend of our daughters who came from a military family that lived all over the world. Somehow, they ended up roommates/apartment mates during their St. Rose years. The groom is from around Albany and had become friends with Jeff Tully from Cambridge thru St. Rose as well.Both Pam and Jeff were asked to be in the wedding party.Another small world thing. It was great seeing Jeff and Pam all dressed up and both with a Cambridge connection.

Hi,
I am thinking back to the summer of 1957. everyone was getting drafted into the Army .  Tom Woodcock and I were good friends and he had joined the Army  and was stationed at Fort Knox Kentucky. There was no possible way that I would ever be in Fort Knox because I had failed the physical to go in on the 6 month reserve deal. Then I took the physical to  be drafted and passed. Rodney Brownell had also been drafted. Stuart,  Rodney's father and Pearl picked me up at my house and left us in Hudson Falls and we were loaded onto a bus to Albany. That night they put us on a train to somewhere not known to us. Lo and behold we arrived at Fort Knox the next day. I called Tom  and we were able to have a few drinks before I left for Fort Meade, Md.
I know that I rambled around with this story. Hope it didn't bore you too much.
Where were some of you others stationed?
 Tom
