My FIL was a teacher for over 40 years - coached girl's basketball a lot of those years, but taught some kind of history also. My husband was having surgery in San Antonio, TX and his parents and I were in the waiting room. Guy comes over to my FIL and says "Hi, Mr. Johnson!" Was a former student from - again - tiny Cordell, OK! We ran into former students of his all over the place, but that seemed the strangest one. Those Cordellites sure get around!
