Teachers

My brothers and I grew up in an African country and were schooled there. Some many years later I moved with my husband and children to the UK. My son attended secondary school in the UK and one day was asked by his teacher, Mr X whereabouts he had come from, after a few other questions they discovered that Mr X had an uncle who had lived in this African country and had in fact taught my brothers at their secondary school. So my son's uncle had been taught by his teacher's uncle in two different countries (not the same subject though!). I think that this is an amazing co-incidence taking into consideration the time span, some twenty odd years, two continents and the sheer number of schools between these two countries.
