Its a small world TOM EARP

So I am leaving Houston on Thursday morning, headded back to SA. I decide to get a soda, so I stop by the corner store not to far from by sisters house. I go in and get a soda from the fountain. Theres this kid who works there and I can kinda see him watching me out of the corner of my eye. But hes lookign at me like hes afraid Im gonna steal something. Anyway, as I get to the counter to pay, he askes me if I am a Lambda Chi (I am wearing a rush shirt). I tell him yes and he introduces himself as a brother (His name was Scott, I think) from the Pittsburg State Chapter. (I think his member number was 600 something). Anyway, I ask "In Kansas?" And he says yes and that he is from Houston and is back home for the summer and working to make some cash. SO I ask him "Pittsburg State, huh? THen I am sure you know some Tom Earp." (As we all know, Tom was their founding father) And he was all, "Holy shit! You know Tom Earp?" To which all I could respond with, "Who doesnt know Tom Earp? BTW, can you understand him in person?" lol.

Anyway, it made me think how much of a small world it was.

i actually understand that one. the earth actually bulges around the equator, making the equator an oval rather than a circle.

lol. wonder how confused that guy was when you asked him if he could understand Tom!

Cool

Some of the LXA LX Z Brothers emailed me and said You got to be kidding!

It is so great to see when People of the Same Org. find others not only from the same org., but to know someone who you know!

I hope this is not only the first but a long line of many events taht can be told!

Hey, I talked to Tom on the phone -- unfortunately for a very short time since we were both at work -- and I understood every single thing he said.

What does that say about me?
