Man, I just don't know what to think but this is really weird!
Something even stronger happened to my father, one day, when a Sears'repairman visiting us to repair our laundering machine,here in Quebec, Canada, told him that he was, long ago, a member of an airborne stick sent to recover the remains of a pilot named Claude Ferrer,killed in action in 1961, during the Independance War in Algeria.
My father's brother was 27 at that time and a fighter pilot in French Air Force.It was on his last active strafing mission that his "Mistral" (a variant of the DeHavilland "Vampire") disintegrated in flight in circumstances that still remain hush-hush to this day.
Mind you,hearing that guy, coming over more than 3500kms and 25 years, just standing there and realizing my father was that Claude Ferrer's brother...Whew!I still get chills just thinking about it!
That is really OT but it is true.
