Oh, about 12-14 years ago I was over a friends house. He was on my dart team up in Boston and we had the whole team over (drinking) practicing darts. We'd known each other for close to 2 years at the point. He had a decent collection of Beer "steins" and short version is that he said his girlfriend had gotten them from when she lived in Germany several years before. I said really, what part of Germany? I rattled off a couple major places, one sounded familiar to him. As I walked upstairs and saw her I asked where she went to High School. With a funny look ("like he would know") she said Germany, I said where in Germany she said Stuttgart, I said which High School (there were 2 American High Schools on bases over there at the time), and she replied "Alexander M Patch High", again with that look like "like he's going to know that place".
I said hang on and went out to my P.O.S. car of the time and grabbed my Yearbook from 1984 (at Patch, everyone got a yearbook annually as people rotated out on an average of every three years, I was class of 86). I brought in and showed her the yearbook with her senior year picture (I was a sophmore) and she freaked and asked me where I got it as her senior yearbook was lost in a fire in LV just before that. So I scrolled over to my picture.
Funny as it turns out we knew each other for close to 2 years and never even dawned on us that we went to school together over in Germany in the mid 80s, even having a class together (we ran in different, uhh, circles)...
She broke up with this guy a year or so later. Two years later we started dating. She is now my wife.
(She calls it destingy, I call it fate - That was a JOKE honey
)
Oddly enough I have run into other people from Patch High on pure freak blind luck.
Oh, one of our members is from there as well (the town, not the High School)...
