I met a bus driver from Portage yesterday at Ortonfest

and he had his seven month old son with him and had sat down next to me. My friend Mark was a little drunk and loud, which is not unusual for him, but a little unsettling for the crowd around us.

He said "You look familiar" and I tried to figure out why and we could not calculate an answer as to where we could possibly have met.

After the music died down he asked me again, "What do you do?" and I said I run an alternative school and I am also a wrestling coach. He said he used to drive school bus for Portage High School, in particular the wrestling team...and asked "Are you from DeForest High ?"

I said yes, my sons wrestled there. He was a State Champion.

Yes, I saw your son wrestle, clearly he was the best wrestler out there. I also drove to the State tournament and got a chance to see him...

It is indeed a small world.
