Hey Kare - yeah it's exciting!
J - Yep I'm still a troll, we lived under the bridge :) We drove through Escanaba for the first on the way back to UT. That was a nice drive along the lake.
It is definitely a small world though. As Derstuka mentioned we grew up in the same town and know some of the same people, although 4 years apart. I was on business in CA this year and ran into another guy from Cheboygan, whose father worked with my grandfather for many years back in MI - crazy small world!
Utah is a unique place. Probably 90% of the people I've met are transplants, and 50% of those are from Michigan or the midwest. Just somethin' about open skies, killer snow and durrrr, the mountains. :2thumbs:

Is Treehugger (Karen) from Cheboygan as well? If so, we have the makings of a Cheboygan reunion here. :haha:
Papa J's was probably closed and turned into that Taco Bell before you graduated I would guess. That was my gang's hangout before a party was found (as well as everybody else's). There are a couple people out here from Cheboygan as well. One of them I knew before I moved out, and one I just ran into--she was 2 years ahead of me. I haven't seen either in many years though. |
