It was her former boss that she'd not seen in almost 15 years who lives about 3000 miles away. How she recognized him, I have no idea.

We ended up going out to dinner with him and his wife, but it was really shocking that she was able to spot him given the context.
I have to admit, I ran into a guy, from a small town in New Jersey, in the Rhein-Main Airport. That was odd. Long-ass time ago, probably 40 years now.
