Small World

True, I didn't take this photo, but I couldn't pass up the chance to point out how the lives of Portlanders are so intertwined.

I was sorting through some of my dad's stuff last night and came upon his Freshman-year year book from Jefferson High. I looked up his photo to see how young he looked in 1955. After a subtle chuckle, I started looking at what other kids looked like in his class and happened to notice the name of the kid to the lower-right of my dad; Ron Sellis [sic]. Yup, that's Sally's dad.

I don't know if Pete and Ron were friends at all. Hopefully Sally can ask Ron whether he knew my dad. Regardless, both of them look incredibly happy to be in High School.

My dad was only at Jefferson for his freshman year. Grandma and Grandpa moved the family down to San Francisco and dad graduated down there.

Anyway, I hope you get a chuckle too. And yes, I know, my dad and I look scarily alike :)
