I made good friends with a girl I was on tour in Europe with a choir. We hit nearly all the western countries. A year after, I was looking through some old stuff from a “gifted student” camp that I went to (read – nerd camp). And as I looked at the group picture, I thought I recognized her. I called her…and she had indeed attended the same camp that year. It was small, but we were different enough in ages at that time that we didn’t run into each other. Also, she went by a different nickname.
That was interesting. We lost touch. Two years later, I was at an accepted students event at a college I was looking at. We were in the dining hall getting lunch. An a cappella group came in to do a number, and recruit new members. The person leading the group – the same girl (now a woman). There was much shocked screaming and jumping up and down.
We realized we were meant to be bestys.
We lost touch a couple years later. ;-)
