How you are within six degress of Dr. Sigmund Freud

We often talk in class about six degrees of separation. Students are sometimes surprised how I can link them to some of the most famous people in modern history.

Here's are link to Sigmund Freud--whom we are learning about in Chapter 25.

You--Mrs. Olsen--her aunt, Ardyth Kennelly--her husband, Egon Ullman--his father, whose office was next door to Dr. Freud's in Vienna. That's four degrees to Sigmund Freud, one of the great minds of this last century. He is sometimes called the "Copernicus of the Mind."
