It was an amazing conference, but the most amazing thing happened on Saturday night. I was just talking to a random gurl during the reception before dinner on Saturday night. To make a long story short, it turned out that this gurl was from my home town (in Massachusetts), she graduated the same high school as me in the same year, and she was on the track team with me. Her last name is similar to mine so she was in my homeroom, since homerooms were assigned alphabetically. I hadn't seen her since graduation almost 44 year ago.
Suffice it to say that I knew her well. We ran track together, we changed in the locker room together, and we showered together [but not in the Sandusky way]. And neither of us knew that the other was trans until Saturday!
