This is an interesting story...
Almost 4 years ago, I received a FB friend request from someone I didn't know (will call her Lady A) - so I sent Lady A a message as I usually do (after a quick review of their page to ensure it's not SPAM or just some girl looking for a "friend")
Anyway, as you can see, we had just two conversations and then things were quiet - until I recently got a veteran match from Barbara @ Pet's For Vets. She gave me the name Spec A - which did not ring any bells. So I met Spec A last Sat - we had a nice long chat. Today, I'm looking for his dog - I sent an email to my "dog" contacts and get an immediate hit - so I look up the dog on FB and make a comment - I share the picture with Spec A (who friended me on FB right after our talk) and I get this friend request - from - guess who - Lady A!
So - I checked mutual friends and see Spec A (which was suspicious) and another friend! I accepted the friend request and guess who she is? Spec A's mother!
And that, my friends, is how I met Spec A's mother... :-)

Interesting - seems we were friends before? I'm curious how you know Jim Dandy? I just met Spec A on SAT evening - I've been assigned as his Pet's For Vets trainer...
Lady A
I saw that...Spec A is my son...thank you for what you do. I graduated High School with John and Jim Dandy
Mark Schubert
Wow - small world... My son Marcus used to work for Jim Dandy
Lady A
I think that Pet's For Vets is such a great thing
