You know how I've always said that EVERYBODY knows somebody from Trimont? Well, Carl's roommate, Nathan, is no exception. His grandmother came along to help him move in, and she asked Carl, "Are you related to John Rabbe?" He answered, "Well, sometimes, he's my grandfather!" Turns out that Nathan's grandparents, Pat and Gary Stark, live in Mora, Minnesota, and know John's sister and brother-in-law Mary and Ron, and his cousin Tom Heuer. They, in turn, introduced Pat and Gary to John and Joyce in Arizona. The Starks winter in Fountain of the Sun, and have played golf with John in the past. They also attend the same church as John and Joyce in Arizona.
Carl says Nathan is quiet, like he is, and a nice guy. Tomorrow is the first day of class. Carl hopes to hook up with the statistics professor tomorrow and try to get into that class this semester. And just for excitement, Carl gets his second Japanese encephalitis injection tomorrow afternoon. Gotta be ready for future study abroad, I guess!

That's going to make for some interesting golf course conversations next winter! "Hey your grandson leaves smelly socks around his dorm room, etc." Small world indeed.
Indeed, it is a small world.
