I did have a near bump. Keep in mind that we lived here about a year and a half before I joined the Army so I really didn't know a lot of people from the area.
I'd been in long enough to make SGT and was on my first tour of Germany. We had a guy in the company who was from the twin cites and would introduce any new soldier from MN to everyone else from MN. One evening right after we got released for the day he brings this new PVT in and introduces him to me saying that he was from my area. Turns out he was from Battle Lake but I didn't know him or his family. He tells me his mother was making ceramic's in a small shop in Battle Lake and the owners son in law was in Germany and a tanker. He was supposed to look this guy up. Well Battle Lake had a population of about 750 at the time and the only ceramic shop was owned by my mother in law. I told the kid welcome to the unit and good luck finding this guy. I got back from the messhall and this kid had dung out the name of the guy he was supposed to look up! Me being a SGT and him a PVT and in different PLTs we didn't have a lot of contact before I rotated back to Ft Riley about 9 months later. Kids was staying in trouble. Nothing real serious but enough that it was going to take him a long time to get promoted. His family left the area long before I retired so I have no idea how that turned out.
