Small world
While reading symmetry (May 2007), I came across an article about Katie and Adam Yurkewicz moving from Fermilab, Batavia, to CERN, Switzerland. I was floored when I realized that the home they were leaving (424 Blaine St) is the home I grew up in. I attended grades 1-4 in the small school building right across the street. I lived there until I got married. My father (the then-owner) lived downstairs and my wife and I and our first child lived in the upstairs apartment for a number of years after I got out of the army in 1968. My sister and her husband lived in the apartment before we did. I did a double take when I saw the picture of the moving truck parked in front of the house. We drive past the house every now and then, but I had no idea who lived there.
Small world, isn't it?
