Unexpected diversity

Again, Cindy and I went to our group meeting and I am thoroughly flabberghasted by the diversity in our little group. In our group, we have the following:

1) Retired Delta pilot, who is from Huntington, West Virginia, graduated from Marshall, where he was classmate with students who perished in a tragic airline crash, then flew fighter planes in Viet Nam as a marine pilot.
2) His wife, who grew up in a little town in South Carolina and has followed him around the world and raised two amazing children.
3) Retired pilot, born in Lima, Peru, the son of a Braniff pilot, who followed his dad into the airline industry.
4) His wife, who grew up in a little town in Georgia, one of two native Georgians in our group.
5) The other native Georgia, the only one who grew up in Griffin, who served in the Army in Washington DC and Atlanta, then worked as bank officer, accountant and teacher.
6) His wife, who was raised in Pennsylvania and Peru, then was educated in Switzerland and Hollins College, before coming to Georgia and marrying her husband.
7) My wife, who is from New Orleans, trained as a sailor, educated in California and teaches in technical college.
8) A retired English professor who grew up in Pittsburgh and Maryland, served in the Army and taught English in Georgia before retiring and serving on missions in Czech Republic and Rumania.
9) His wife, whose father was native of Russia, grew up on farms in Kansas, Colorado and Washington before marrying her husband and settling in Georgia.

And we are all living in the Griffin area, attending First Presbyterian Church and meeting on Thursdays at our hosts' house in the country of Pike County.
