Here in New Mexico, as I gather my things and get ready to head out on the road again, I flip on CNN, to get what I can of my news fix before I head out the door. And what is CNN doing a story on? A local man (that is, to South Jersey) who made sizable donations to a local community college and local high school (accompanied by the briefest of B-roll shots of the school itself) after a life of modest earnings and living.

That high school? St. Augustine Prep – my high school.

I had read briefly about it in the local paper and the alumni newsletter while home. And now here I am in the hills of New Mexico.

Small world.
