It's a small world...

Most of the people in the world can be connected through six degrees of separation; however, Professor Keith Jones of Central College in Pella, Iowa has proposed that when factoring in Yankton, it is closer to one to two degrees of separation. Below is supporting evidence of Dr. Jones’ theory.

Last week I was creeping on the Seattle Facebook network and came across a profile picture I recognized. The picture was of a high school friend’s wedding. Turns out the girl who posted the picture (she lives in Seattle) was a bridesmaid in a classmate’s wedding; pretty crazy eh? Well, I messaged her and she replied saying she’d like to meet up and we did earlier this week. Her name is Maggie and she’s way fun.

Random Facebook story part 2. Later after “friending”(technical Facebook term) Maggie, one of her friends messages me and informs me that we have three mutual friends from Yankton. Tiffany, the second messager, used to date a classmate of mine from Yankton, but she didn’t know my other Yankton friend who was recently married. Two separate Yankton connections, and both to the same graduation class!

Dr. Jones is obviously on to something. If anyone else has a story to support his theory please leave a comment!

I hope you all are well and loving life; I am!
