Six Degrees of Separation, Sort Of

[Jimbo]

Anyone subscribe to the six degrees of separation idea? I was at a two day soccer tournament for my daughter this year, last four games of the season. It was cold so I wore a big warm coat with "Northport Soccer" on the back that had been given to me some 25 years ago when I was doing some coaching and teaching there. I have no idea why I decided after all these years to wear it. I also graduated from there. Anyway, one of the dad's sitting on one side of me asked if it was Northport on Long Island. I said yes and explained I was born and brought up there and why I had the jacket. He tells me, he live there too and graduated from NHS, too, so did his brothers. Turns out one was in my class and I had known him way back when. Then the dad on my other side says, "Did I hear you say you were from Long Island? I lived in a town called Northport for about five years" Turns out he lived a stone's throw from where we first lived when my family was there. Seemed more than irony or it's a small world something like that happening.
This is twice this year something like this happened to me. Anything like this ever happen to anyone else?
