Small world story...

I was out for a walk this morning and Will called with the following crazy story:

He was in a business meeting in a small town in Connecticut.   One of the other guys from the sales partner in Connecticut said he grew up in rural Montana.  The meeting was coming to a close to Will pressed asking where in Montana?  The other guy said "Medicine Lake".  After a little more back and forth on the years Andy was there everything clicked for Will and he said "Andy from Medicine Lake?!  You were my best friend!"  Andy was equally shocked and realized calling out "Will?  You taught me how to ride a bike!"  The other guys in the meeting thought it was a prank.  Will and Andy went on to describe how they knew each other and how devastated Will was when his family had to move away from Medicine Lake.  Thankfully, Andy remembered to get a picture!  So unbelievable.

I've heard the stories of Will and Andy in Medicine Lake.  Will was in Kindergarten and Andy was his best friend.  Will bent the training wheels up on Andy's bike to teach him how to ride without training wheels.  I also heard the stories of sorrow Will felt at being forced to move away from his best friend to Colstrip.  Of course, they never heard from each other again.  They were little kids and didn't even know each other's last names so Facebook was no good as adults.  It was too bizarre to have the guys find each other in a sales partner meeting in Connecticut!
