Small world

Story 1:
Growing up, my mom and stepfather (who live in Cape May, NJ) always hosted a group of US Coast Guard trainees for Thanksgiving. The new trainees always started some time before Thanksgiving and couldn't go home to be with their own families, so the USCG would recruit local families to have trainees over for dinner. Anyway, one time I was there with Dave (who I was engaged to at the time), 6 recruits and assorted family. It turned out that one of the recruits used to visit the bulletin board that Dave ran back in New Hope, PA when he was a kid. The more they talked, the more they remembered each other.
Story 2:
I always lived back east until I moved to Colorado. When I started working at my current job, we were discussing how sometimes the NY group (who we work closely with) would act like we were all from Colorado and therefore a bunch of cowpokes. We got to talking and discovered that 4 of us were from PA/NJ. The two from a very rural part of PA and lived within a few miles of each other. I lived across the river from them in NJ. And the other NJ person lived up in North Jersey.
Story 3:
My parents got divorced when I was young. Growing up, I lived with my mom and stepfather in Cape May. My dad and stepmom lived in Pennington, NJ (not too far from The College of NJ but it was called Trenton State College then). Then I went off to college in Bethlehem, PA. My senior year, I started dating this guy named Mark. We were talking about going to visit our families. It turned out that his parents lived less than 5 miles from my dad and stepmom.
It really is a small world.

Ok, I'm continuing the "Small World" thing on my site. I have a story to share! I have a story to share!
And speaking of small world. I grew up in Bethlehem from the age of 10 on up until I moved here. So chances are, we were living there at the same time.
Not only that, it still baffles me that Kathy and Ericalynn are all originally from Long Island, like me. Well, not baffles, but you know what I mean.
