He told me his name was Tex, but he is from Moberly, Missouri, not

Texas, and he teaches at an alternative middle school. When I told him I was a seventh grade math teacher named Debbie, he started to laugh. I asked him what was funny about that and he told me his wife's name was Debbie and she taught seventh grade math. Only one of a series of connections and coincidences. Tex was a section hiker and his wife was picking him up at the next trailhead.
