Small World, confirmed

In a previous post I mentioned what a small world it is.
Yesterday I went to a Publix supermarket (5% discount for senior citizens on Wednesdays). The cashier said the fruit that I selected reminded her of the fresh fruit on the trucks farmers with a scale on back that drove around neighborhoods selling their produce.
One sentence inspired another sentence and got around talking about our town in in the old days. She was about 5 or 6 years older than me, but she looked that much younger. She told me where she moved with her parents in 1951 when they first moved to Marietta. Then, she asked me to ask my sister if she knew her brother with the last name LeVann (but I thought she said Levant). As I was putting the groceries into the car it thought where they moved was also the apartment house a girl I had a crush on in grammaer school with the last name
LeVann. Levant - LeVann - same house. DUH!
So, I returned my grocery cart and interupted her ringing up another aged customer's groceries and asked her was her sister name so and so. She said yes. I said she sat behind me for several years in grammar school and had a crush on her. The elderly gentleman, who was waiting for his groceries to be scanned and totaled was very patient, and was even amused by our conversation. She went on to say her sister was very rich and lived in Atlanta now.
When we went to high school I think she went to a different school, I never saw her after grammar school. That was 1954 when we graduated from the 7th grade.
Easy come, easy go.
