One of the strangest things that ever happened to me: it was 1962 and I was working for the summer in the oil patch in Venice, Louisiana--as far south as you can drive in Louisiana. It's pretty much the end of the earth as well as the end of the road. Few permanent residents, mostly oil field workers.
At my boarding house I had struck up with an acquaintance with a guy from west Texas named Lloyd Jones. He was a student at Texas Tech, also working for the summer in the oil patch. One day I was at the washateria when I saw a car drive up with a Texas Tech sticker on his rear window (double Ts then too). After he dumped his clothes in the washer, I asked the obvious, "Do you attend Texas Tech?" He said that he did. I then commented that there was another Texas Tech student down working for the summer. That caught his interest, and he asked who. "Lloyd Jones," I responded.
He gave me a look somewhere between "What the he11?" and "Are you trying to start something, wisea$$?"
Yep, turned out his name was Lloyd Jones too. He didn't know the other Lloyd Jones. And me, I've only met two students from Texas Tech and they both had the same name. Since that time I have never met another Lloyd Jones. They didn't have the Louisiana Lottery back then, or I would have gone and bought a handful of tickets.
