History repeats itself: When my older sister, Linda, and I were young girls growing up on 11th street in Erie, PA one of our friends and neighbors was a young boy named Lou Bizzarro.

Yesterday she was over at her oldest daughters home, and there was a young man there, Mike, who looked very familiar. When he spoke his voice was familiar. After they talked awhile the subject of Italian families came up - he said he was Italian, and she mentioned us having grown up with an Italian family, the Bizzarro's and us having been friends with Lou. Well! It turns out Lou is his uncle! I asked about the older brother Johnny and she said Mike told her he had died two years ago.

What an amazing co-incidence that our worlds and lives should repeat like this. From she and I and Louis in Erie, PA being friends, to her nieces and his nephew, in Waterford, PA being friends.

I guess it is a small world after all!
