It was a conversation between a man and a woman behind me as the Independence Day parade went by in front of me.
The man said, “That woman running for Congress – Jamie?”
“Jaime Mcleod-Skinner?”
“Yes. Did she go to school in Ashland? I went to school in Ashland with someone with her name — ”
“Yes, I went to school with her.”
“You went to school with Jamie Mcleod in Ashland?”
“Yes.”
“I went to school in Ashland.”
“Noel?”
“Meredith?”
Laughter.
