Maybe this has been done on here before...but wondering if anyone has a "small world" story they'd like to share about running into other people from Miles City in seemingly far away places?
I'll start it off: just yesterday I was at work in Eagan, Minnesota (a St. Paul suburb) and waited on a customer. I asked his name to get his order started and he said his last name is "Boutelle", which rung a bell. I asked him if he had any relatives in Montana. He said yes. I told him I knew of a businessman named Prescott Boutelle in Miles City where I grew up. His face lit up in amazement and he replied: "That's my dad!"
I know instances like that happen all the time, I just think it's cool when they do. Anyone else???
