Here’s one for the Six Degrees of Separation department. I am connected to Alok Madasani, the Indian guy who survived the Plate, KS, shooting.

Me —> My daughter —> one of her best friends —> who dated Alok for a while

I have also met my daughter’s friend several times, so that reduces the number of degrees.

Also, one of my cousins once-removed lives in Olathe. But he doesn’t know any of the people involved personally.
