NORRISTOWN, PA — Norristown native Rob Lawless has met 3,164 people across the United States in the last three years, and he doesn't plan to stop until he reaches his goal of 10,000. Then he wants to teach college courses to other adults about how to form connections. Patch's Caren Lissner recently reported on Lawless' incredible journey, which has taken him from his hometown of Norristown to Hoboken, New Jersey, Philadelphia, State College, and Los Angeles. He has received enough media attention that he's been able to get free flights and guest rooms in order to keep meeting people across the country, with each encounter lasting an hour. But he says he hopes this year to meet more people from certain parts of the world and in certain demographics. Check out the Hoboken Patch to read the full story on one of Norristown's own here.
