A Little History...

I figured it was time for an update. (I have to be able to keep all 3 of visitors happy, right?) Well, for those that don't know me all that well, my school years were a little scattered. I attended a private Catholic School for my gradeschool years called St. Bavo's. As if coming from a strict Catholic family wasn't fun enough, I also had to attend Mass 3 times a week with my classmates. Example I did this for the first 5 grades of school before my family moved to Elkhart, where I continued my education in the public school system. I graduated in Elkhart in 1994.

Now, fast-forward 13 years to today...

I currently work in a graphic arts related field in a building that also houses the trade shops that support the University. Piloting the Carpenter Shop is a friend of mine named Steve, whom I've only known for maybe 2 years. As it turns out, we were talking this morning about family, when he tells me that this mother works at St. Bavo's church. I then told him that I went to school there, and he said that he did too! He graduated high school in 95, a year behind me, but attended St. Bavo's the same time I did, again, only one year behind me. I don't have any memory of him when I was there, but this was 20+ years ago now. I probably walked by him a million times in the hallway and didn't even know it. It's cliche to say, but damn...small world. Example
