Deja what?? or overlapping life histories.
Yesterday, my wife encountered a childhood school friend that she had not seen in some 30 odd years. This caused her, last night, to drag out her old school annuals and start a trip down memory lane.
In her sophomore high school annual she found a Memorial to one of her teachers who had died in a house fire early in the year. The first thing that caught my eye was that the teachers birth year coincided with mine. Then the name JB! I said, " jB?" Then got out my Senior year annual and found pictures of jB, Sure enough, JB = jB.
I was a bit shocked, this is a horrible death for a very nice girl, who had been a high school friend. I had had not heard or thought of her in years, she, for now obvious reasons has never been to a reunion.
BTW, It is not as unlikely as one would initially think, my high school is only 120mi (~200 km) to the south of the school my wife went to, so it is not like we are talking huge distance differences.
