Separation Sunday - Six degrees

Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries (from what is that com).  After reconnecting with some of my friends, we started talking about life and how people we meet somehow ends up connected with others. This post is about different stories shared by my friends and the people they met that knows me.  

• Catherine - we met in Regina, Saskatchewan on training for three weeks. We kept in touch through the years. While visiting Toronto, she went out with her friend to a bar to meet with others.  She was introduced to my daughter.  Until she mentioned where she worked and my daughter told her where I worked and they realized the connection.
• Two officers who worked together in Ottawa were sharing stories and somehow ended up finding out they both knew me.  One I met in Whitehorse in 1984 and the other I met in Ottawa in 1991.
• Lorna - was being interviewed by an officer about a report and at the end of their conversation, she found out the officer knew me.
• One single golfer joined two other golfers at a golf course somewhere in Quebec.  After the 18th golf, they stopped for a beer and started talking.  Somehow they both found out they knew me.  
• A previous co worker was attending one of my birthday party. She was a little shy so I introduced her to one of tennis friend.  A few minutes later they found out they had worked together somehow in the Philippines prior to coming to Canada.
• On a return flight from Edmonton to Toronto some years ago I sat beside a man who was the brother of one of the Trainers I knew in Ottawa .  It was only because he asked me what I do and where I work.
