Have you ever gotten in touch with friends you had from long ago?
This last 6 months or so have given me contact with several people from my past. One was a girl I worked with and was good friends with from about 1995. She happened to call another long time friend of ours while I was visiting and then my wife and I got together for lunch.
Just the other day, my roommate from when I was in the Navy called me out of the blue. I lost touch with him long ago and he tracked me down. We talked for hours. He’s in New Mexico and I’m in North Carolina so visiting is unlikely but at least now I have his number!
What, if any, experiences like this have you had?

I’ve gotten together with two friends from grade school in the last five years. One was a former neighbor and the nurse at my father’s last hospitalization. the other was a friend up til 4th grade and I reached out to her on FB when I was going to visit her state. Both reconnections were very pleasant and the one whom I saw in Vermont .helped me put a long standing mystery to bed.
Yes. Always a positive experience.
I hadn’t seen my dad in 30 years, then on my way to Thailand I poked around in FB and got in touch with my uncle. He got in touch with my dad just in time for my arrival.
A few months I emailed a friend I hadn’t seen in over 30 years. 8 got a nice reply and we’re corresponding regularly now!
I called an old co-worker last week, two hours later we were caught up.
At a funeral for a classmate, several friends were there, all grown adults. Kind of wild but fun!
I keep in touch with many people on Facebook, and Facebook helped me find old friends from when I was little and in the pre-internet days. I tell people that when I was little, when someone moved away, or if we moved away, you had people’s addresses (not always their phone numbers, because calling people could be a big charge on the phone bill), and if you lost the address, it was very difficult to reconnect. Once Facebook came out, I looked up a bunch of friends from my childhood, and then found more through mutual friends. It was kind of amazing because so many of these people were lost forever, and now found.
My oldest son got in touch with his birth father, and we are all contacts on Facebook.
