Well, I forgot about this cool story. I live in a fairly small city compared to New York or Chicago. One night about 2 years ago I was at the Swiss Club meeting here in our town in a lovely posh country club.
Our Swiss club is great as we have German speaking Swiss as myself and Swiss French speaking as well. Most of us speak one or both. ( i am lucky to be able to speak both.) Many of the people are only English speaking as the are married to Swiss spouses. We have a great group or all ages which I find wonderful.i am on theyounger side of the group in my late 40's.
I was introuduced to a lovely couple. The husband was from Graubunden and the wife from here. He was studying to be a minister and she was working in a bank . The wife was pregnant with their twins. As we got to talking I realized and the husband realized that he knew my very good friend from Menzingen( our small town) he was from 3 hours away from Menzingen but he knew my friend as her family was originally from Graubunden. I told her in an e mail and she was really surprised and pleased that I had met her old friend. It was so cool that thousands miles away there was such a close connection.I Still keep in touch with my friend in Menzingen/ Finstersee and the lovely couple have given birth to twins and are now happily living in Graubunden once again.I think to myself sometimes . The world really is small. The Swiss world is even Smaller.
