This is purely about us fans and shared coincidences and experiences and nothing to do with Tull concerts or emotions or memories about Tull - there's a whole Forum for that! It might sit here in the "Everything Else" section for a while gathering dust till some eureka moment occurs when we say " Bloody hell, we love Tull and ..." or it might not be as interesting to warrant a "bloody hell" I'll start with my earliest coincidence. I lived in Cornwall and so does Graham. Newest one. Frontdorrangel's dad served in the same place as my father and where my mother lived/worked when she emigrated to America. So this might take up a few pages as I relate (some) of the stories my mother tells me every night on the phone about Stewart Airbase, Newburgh, working in the PX in the late fifties and meeting my father while playing on the pin ball machine at the Halfway Lodge. i61.images obliterated by tinypic/207ondu.jpg[/IMG] pic does not feature characters related to story taken from www.hvmag.com/core/pagetools.php?pageid=6618&url=%2FHudson-Valley-Magazine%2FDecember-2008%2FThen-Now%2F&mode=print

My Dad was in the RAF in WW2. Got stationed at one point in Sierra Leone fixing the planes for coastal command. He and my Mother were on holiday in Austria in the 1970s and met up with a German couple and the husband, it turned out, was also in the same theatre of war and at the same time as Dad but flying Condor aircraft for the Luftwaffe.
They all remained very good friends thereafter and for the rest of their lives - shows that friendship and respect is much better way forward.
