Sometimes things just happen. Take Paul Graney. He was living in Groton, MA and his wife was working at Groton School. He was able to connect with Chris Davey often and even played golf in the Gagne Invitational at Lawrence Academy and got to see Chaz himself. Then his wife got the Director of Development job at Fountain Valley School in Colorado Springs....
Fast forward three years and Knight is on the hunt for classmates in Colorado. But Paul's address in the Deerfield database is still Groton so he flies below the radar (nice Air Force reference for Colorado Springs...) and isn't found until Knight remembers something about his wife's job move to FVS. It helped that JK's neighbor in Denver has a daughter at FVS to get the wheels turning. So through his wife, Paul is "found" and lunch is scheduled.
Fun fact. Paul was a college hockey referee for Division 3 men's and women's games when he lived back near Beantown. That career ended when a falling players' skate severed all the tendons on the back of his left hand. Five surgeries later, his hand closes but not very tightly. Silver lining: his golf got better because of his lighter grip!
Great to see another friendly face and find a new golfing buddy!!! That makes nine of us in Colorado, I think. And number ten is moving here in Spring 2016! Stay tuned...
