I did not hear that xzins. Do you know what show he was on?
It was one of the Fox shows....probably Gretta, but possibly H&C or OReilly.
I'm puzzled by it. It went by quickly, no one touched on it, but I'm sure I heard the stepfather say, "Small world..." and then it was followed by something about someone (I think someone on the island) he (or someone) went to school with. I believe he said military school.
I remember this person he mentioned had an odd nickname that he used....2 syllables....
