[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 578807, member: 4362"] This actually happened today and I just got off the phone to verify some of the facts I was given. All checks out so this is probably true but I am not going to give any details cause I was just reminded how small the world is. Today I met an elderly man and he and I got to talking. Turns out he is from another town and has recently moved here for his health. Anyhow, I asked him if he knew my uncle who also lived in the town he moved from. (uncle is now deceased) He said yes. He had grown up with him. He began telling me stories about his love of flying and his work in the Amazon. How he hobknobbed with Jimmy Carter. He told me things I didn't know. Some of them were pretty cool. But what blew my mind was the fact that my uncle had a wife and family in South America! :shock: Yep, according to him, I got 10 cousins I've never met. Not one to believe just anything, I made a few phone calls and yes, my uncle owned two companies in South America. And yes, he spent a lot of time there. Yes, he was on Carter's staff. And No, my aunt never visited the factories. It also explains why someone who owned two airplanes and a luxurious home could die and leave his wife nearly penniless - his american wife anyhow. This blew my mind! So it just goes to show you, IT IS A SMALL WORLD! (As for the family, I believe I'll keep all this to myself) [/QUOTE]
