I have more. I live in MA now but I lived in Japan for many years. On my first visit back to the US, my daughter (then just 11 months old) flew to San Francisco and had a couple of hours layover before heading to Boston and I bumped into a high school classmate whose wife had just had a baby and whose mother had visited and was flying home on the same flight as me!

Also, after I had been living in Japan several years and knew no other Americans (this is in the 60's when international travel wasn't so prevalent) I went to a luncheon in Tokyo and at the next table heard some conversation in English and they were talking about medical stuff. I'm a nurse, so I got up and introduced myself and after a short conversation found out they were both nurses too and one of them graduated from nursing school 3 miles from where I lived in Marblehead, MA!
