I don't want to say anything to influence anyones response, so this will be vague....

I lived in DC may years ago. Had moved from the Midwest.
My husbands (now ex) business at that time brought him into contact with many random, high level gov't officials.
His business was nothing mysterious, just high level corporate. We had mandatory business social functions (coctail type parties, mostly) to attend. Ugh.

Here's the weird thing:
At social and business functions that I had to attend as 'the wife', after learning where I had lived for an extended period of my life, many of these people would repetedly and 'casually' question me, without fail, about Richmond, Indiana. Very odd and very predictable questions put to me. Without fail.

How is this for a "my uncle told me" type thread?

But is is true.

What is going on in Richmond Indiana? Of all places?
Thoughts?
Facts?
Thanks for anything you may contribute.
