greendougherty - yorkville - yorkville stories INDEX 111309

Here's a group of stories that I just wanted to put to writing before they are forgotten. As far as I know, these are true stories and most of the people that were involved in the stories are factual and did exist. On the previous index, these stories were referred to as stories of six degrees of separation. These stories are gathered together for sake of simplicity and ease of finding in one location for reference. If you have a story that you would like to add, I'm all ears.
