WHAT ARE THE ODDS? CHAPTER 2

From Jack Fenimore, '59:

"A few years ago, I wrote a brief note about meeting a new neighbor who had just moved into the house across the street from our winter home in FL. It was Bill Dey, a Milne graduate.

"A few days ago, my wife and I were walking down the aisle of our grocery store in FL and saw a woman coming in the opposite direction. We stopped because she looked very familiar. She said, 'Is your last name Fenimore?' I said yes, and admitted I didn’t know her name. Then she said, 'My name is Ann Quickenton, Milne class of ’59.' She’s a full-time resident of Florida now. Impressive memory, Ann! The years have treated you very well. Happy to have met you."

It's a small world after all!
