6.Life's coincidences (巧合) can be good or bad,but they always surprise us.I moved to Anderson in 2004from a small town in New York.One day I stopped at a red light and was behind a car with a license plate that read"Pearl Harbor Survivor".My father was a Pearl Harbor survivor,so I jumped out of my truck and tapped to his window.He rolled the window down and I asked if he was a Pearl Harbor survivor.
"Yes,"he said.The lights turned green so I got back in my truck,turned left and went home straight.Then,I said to myself,"Why didn't I get his name and phone number?"I went to the local Legion Post and asked if there was a Pearl Harbor survivor here on their roster (花名册).They told me yes and his name was Bronsil Metz.I looked up his name in the phone book and gave him a call.However,I failed to reach him anyway.I then drove to his address.With no answer to the door,I left a note saying that I would like to speak with him.
The next day Metz called me back and we arranged to meet at his house.I gathered my father's picture albums and drove to his house the next morning.My father passed away years ago,so I was filled with excitement about talking to someone with similar experiences.We two went through the albums.As I turned the pages,he started pointing out the people he knew as well as those familiar buildings.My father was a great record keeper,so after Metz named people in some pictures,I took the photos out and on the back,in my father's handwriting,were the names,substantiating that Metz did really know the people.At that moment,I was stunned (愣住).
