It's a small world

[DCJenn]

So, my mom grew up w/ this guy- he's a few years older than she. They were supposed to go out but he blew her off and she went to Homecoming with my dad instead:

The Bush administration paid a $5 million reward to a former Minnesota flight instructor who provided authorities with information that led to the arrest and conviction of 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui.

The recipient, Clarence Prevost, was honored Thursday at a closed-door ceremony at the State Department, although the payout was secretly authorized last fall by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the Justice Department, U.S. officials told The Associated Press.

The reward from the State Department's "Rewards for Justice" program is the first and only one to date to a U.S. citizen related to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the officials said.

"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears" has never seemed QUITE so appropriate.

Heh, one of the lawyers I work for attended that ceremony.

It IS a very small world.

I wonder how many of us have some connection other than this board. You know, like - what's the saying?? six degrees of separation??? :huh:

Re: It's a small world

Well, seeing how we're all married/dating medical people and medicine is a pretty small world - the liklihood is that many of us DO have close degrees of seperation.

I can think of a couple of people on this site that I most likely only have maybe three degrees of seperation with.

So, what did he write in your yearbook? Inquiring minds want to know.

I looked him up when I visited my parents recently (they have my yearbooks). He took up a whole lot of space, but didn't write much. There are quite a few people from our high school class who went on to become physicians.
