Cool

I got in contact with Rand, the guy who found my pocketknife. I can't believe somebody found it after all these years. I also can't believe anybody is on Sturge Island. He wouldn't say what he's doing there, but he's probably doing some kind of research. There's nothing else to do there that I know of.

He said he'd keep the knife for me, and if we ever meet -- or if we both have permanent addresses -- he'll give it to me. That would be cool; it was a nice knife! Of course, I was just 14 at the time.

I wonder if Rand finds Sturge Island as spooky as I thought it was. Probably not; must have been a phase I was going through.

One more spooky thing though. I told my parents the news, and my Mom thinks she might have heard of this Rand guy. She can't place where, though. (That almost proves he's doing research; I don't think my parents know any other kinds of people :-)
