An Awkward Encountering

I went to St. James Collegiate, one of the smaller high schools in the city so it is not often do I bump into an SJCI grad at the University of Manitoba as only a few decide to take that route in life. It is even more rare to bump into a SJCI grad outside of the school environment until recently...I just found out that I'm collegues with a SJCI grad who is 3 years senior, Marc Lantz...I've seen him a few times before today but always at a distance, he looked familiar from the start but I couldn't recognize him right away because we never officially 'met' though in a smaller school like SJCI, you will bump into everyone very frequently. So I couldn't just sit there and guess and decided to ask "Did you go to SJCI?" "Um...yea..." "I'm an '06 grad" "How do you know me then?" "You were the last Mr. SJCI, so your face was around the school for some time" "Yea...." He was in the midst of replacing another collegue's computer and I had work to get done so we didn't talk for much longer. He works in the IT department and I work in Security, these two departments are in frequent contact to get new employees computer access at CBSA.
