Although I have always claimed to be an Okie, I was actually born in Erie, KS, a town of 1,012 people. Some 2 or 3 years ago I visited Erie with two of my grandchildren. Every July the town has what they call the Erie Reunion when former residents return for the special events of the week. Alana and Jr had a great time participating in some of the activities, one of which was a turtle race. Alana's turtle won first place and was awarded a silver dollar.
About a year later an American lady in Rosarito,MX shouted out, "Hey, I remember you!" Alana turned around and saw it was the lady that had awarded her the silver dollar in Erie, KS.! Small world in God's eyes.
