My SO and I are from neighboring communities and attended the same combined high school...19 years apart. We had several of the same teachers in elementary, jr hi and high school. He went to school with many of my classmates' parents, and college with several of my high school teachers. It's definitely an interesting comparison/contrast. I learned more about being from that area in 6 months of being with him than I did in the 18 years I lived there.
