In these Black Swan times I have a long long ago connection. 

When I was a young boy my mother told me that her father died in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.  

I mentioned it to Nancy and, of course, it was news to her and her first impulse was to Google him.  Later she told me she found nothing.  

Yet, it was Nancy’s impulse to probe Google that resulted in one of the greatest WOW! moments of my life.  

Acting upon Nancy’s Google impulse, I dug extremely deep down into the most remote region of Google and found a “grave stone“ site. Can you imagine? A “grave stone” site exists.  

Anyway, the grave stone pictured popped up when I typed in 1918 Spanish flu and my grandfather’s name.  I was shocked, yet uncertain because of the long unfamiliar name set forth. 

Undeterred, I texted the grave stone picture (and name) to my sister and she told me that our mother once, just once, told her my grandfather’s full name and it was the very same!

What are the odds on the above confluence of events resulting is such a completely unexpected WOW! moment?  

Truth is far stranger than fiction and Google is all knowing!  

Thank you Nancy!
