Today’s Rare Event Story.
Simply put the story is this -
A couple of days ago I unexpectedly ran into a co-worker I hadn’t seen in 15 years.
Here’s how it happened …
My friend and I, attend an engineering presentation about three or four times a year.
The other night we were going to our usual meeting and had agreed to ride together.
I stopped over to his house and we headed out to the evening’s talk.
He drove, and as we traveled he told me “he needed to pickup something on our way”,
He had some 40-year-old audio speakers that needed restoration.
Recently he had found a repair shop through an e-Bay source to do the job.
The shop was on the way to our evening talk.
As we drove toward the shop he told me in detail
how he had located by chance this unusual audio repair facility.
This particular shop worked exclusively on outdated “Audio Research” products.
The story of Audio Research (the company) is at the following website …
To make a long story short, when we got within a few hundred feet of the shop
(which is located in a private home)
I suddenly realized — this is the home of an old friend and coworker –
whom I hadn’t seen in 15 years.
I didn’t even know my old friend had taken up this unique repair work,
but I had heard he retired several years ago.
In a few moments, we were inside my old friend’s home,
shaking hands and catching up on old times.
My driver — was as surprised as I was to find out
that I had worked for 10 years with this repair man — over 15 years ago.
This is what I call a “RARE EVENT”!!!
