4/20: small world

Chris' department is hiring a one-year replacement for a professor who is going on sabbatical. Chris and I took one of the job candidates out to dinner this evening before dropping her off at the airport. Because I'm not on the search committee, our conversation could be chatty and informal. We talked about where she got her undergraduate degree, and it turns out that she took Ancient Greek at her college and was taught by a dear friend I made during my junior year abroad (way back when). I'm going to drop him a quick email right now.
