One Christmas morning, a message was left on our answering machine for my husband Tom. We didn't recognize the number but phoned back. The person told us his name was Don but that he hadn't phoned us, he didn't know anyone named Tom Jones. Then I went on the phone and rcognized the voice, and yes it was Don a rep. for a firm that called on our company from time to time, he was a very nice man, a gentleman and I liked him. He had retired a few years earlier. But he was emphatic that he hadn't phoned us, didn't even have our number. I later heard from his wife, that he had died a few months later.........................I thought this was uncanny too. Norah

Bob the weirdest thing that happened to me was a few years ago in our local library. I picked up a book about tracing your Scottish ancestors. In it they had some case examples, and lo and behold, there was my husband's ancestors. Talk about coincidences!

A person that has lived along the road from us, for about thirty years, visited us today for the first time into our house. While he was here, the phone rang and a person asked for him by name. it was a friend of his, who had misdialed his number, and got ours. what must be the chances of that occuring? I thought it extremely weird!!!!! Bob
