Small World

In the relatively short time (compared to the real oldie members) that I have been a member of the PT Community, I have met two other members from my old stomping grounds where I grew up, tho I did not know them at the time.

I was born and raised in Warwick, RI - and have since met Gretchen (Grace), who also grew up there - just a couple of miles from where I lived. She was a few years ahead of me in school, but we went to the same schools and had at least one of the same teachers that I know of, and went swimming in the summer at the same "swimming hole".

Kokopup lived only a few miles from me for a period of time also, when he was in the military and stationed at Quonset and lived off base. We remember the blizzard that shut the state down in 1961 or 62, as well as some other things of interest.

You meet the darnedest people in the darnedest places!

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Staci (Shais_mom) and I went to rival high schools and worked at the same Sear's store at the same time. We never really met until PT, but knew a lot of the same people.

This is difficult to explain. I have a friend that now works with me. Her mom worked with Claudia (kitten645). Did that make sense? I guess the reason I felt it was difficult is because my friends mom is also my friend. That's where I got confuzzled.

I'm glad you told me where Gretchen is from! I asked on a couple of threads and didn't get a response; some of her references were AWFULLY familiar to me! I grew up in NEWPORT & PORTSMOUTH!!

No, I haven't had that experience but I have had the delightful experience of meeting a "sister". You, Ellie. LOL

It's amazing that we're so much alike. Pretty scary!!! If we lived closer, I'm afraid we could be a dangerous duo!!!

Well I'll be darned. In later years, after I was grown and gone from home, my parents built a house on Jamestown. I always loved Newport too!
