Got a little story for ya Ags...

It's a small world...and a big Aggie Family
As most anyone who knows me knows (did I say that right?) I am an Aggie. Along with the many Aggie jokes comes the immense pride of being an Aggie, dreadful football seasons, and a network of people that spans across the world. Being one to test everything I've been told, I thought it would be nice to attend Muster (Aggie tradition for our fallen Aggies) in Melbourne this year. I got on the Former Student website, found contact information for someone in Sydney (about 11 hrs by train from Melbourne, I think) and emailed this person. I mainly wanted to see if she by chance knew any Aggies in Melbourne that were going to hold Muster. Well she passed my name on an Ol' Ag (Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '73) who emailed me. He was very welcoming, told me all about his family, his time at A&M, and invited me out to the farm he and his wife live on, just outside of Melbourne. He suggested that his son, 28 yr old male (just in case 'son' needed clarification), help me with the train/tram route to their house, as his son lives in Melbourne. I wrote said Ol' Ag back, thanking him for the generous hospitality, and told him a little bit about myself. I also mentioned that he could pass my contact information along to his son (to be honest, I had a glass of wine or 3 before writing the email and was feeling rather serendipitous about the whole situation). Well, this guy didn't just have a son, my age, who live in Melbourne BUT his son....wait for it....wait for it....works for the same company I do, in the same field that I work in - now if that doesn't make you believe in 6 degrees of separation, I'm not sure what will!
