I met my wife on a train in Nebraska... she's from the Traverse City area, was at a 2-year college in MO, and was planning on going to U of M the next year after she graduated, which is where I was going to school at the time.
For further coinkydink, her grandmother used to live 2 blocks down the street from me where I grew up on the west side of the state, and given how small the town was it's likely that I ran across her at some point as an adolescent or teen when she was visiting her grandmother during the summer as she often did.
