Just out of curiosity - what in the world possessed you to give him your phone number?

I never did.

About a year, maybe 2 years ago, both Tracy and I called his home in the span of a week, when we thought something significant had happened to him. So maybe he got my number from when I'd called him.

Or maybe it was because my # was on my UT profile (which I've since removed)

Or maybe he got it from some other source.
