Its a Small World . . . .

Yesterday we went to the annual LSU Tarrant Tigers fish fry event at Lake Granbury. The crowd was not as large but it was friendly as usual.

After signing in and getting name tags we walked in to meet the folks. There is always somebody new to see and greet. And there is the usual crowd that always shows up.

The first couple we ran into, new to us, was Joe and Julie Lancaster. Thought not much about the names, certainly was not of my generation but he said you are my cousin. Humm, could be, I said I was from New Roads and he said he was too. Then bells went off, could this be a child of Bradford and Wille Mae's - it was. And yes we are cousins and swapped stories for a while.

Turns out his daughter, Courtney, had been selected for the Tarrant Tigers scholarship to LSU. They were there to accept the scholarship and meet the members of the Alumni Group. Little did they know that they would run into a cousin.

As we traded storeis we learned that they knew Herrise - though Willie Mae, I sure. I said that Herrise is my sister. Then lights really began to light up.

Joe and Julie are accountants - CPAs - that live and practice in Grapevine. That really makes it a small world, right up next to Flower Mound and we really did not know it.

It was great swapping stories. There parents were a bit older than us, but well known to us. And we learned that there is a sister, Eliska, that lives in Colleyville.

We have got to meet all these people.
