I have old pictures with their names at the back. I think I will try Facebook first.

I keep in touch with three brothers whom I went to school with in the 1970's. Sadly, two other brothers and a third pal are now deceased, having taken their own lives
. I did get a big surprise last year when a lady called up for a quote and told me the name of her employer. I recognised the surname and mentioned that I went to school with a similar person back in the 70's but hadn't seen him since about 1975 when his family moved. Imagine my surprise when I got an email from him out in Hing Kong and it was my old mate from waaaay back!. Hadn't had any contact with him for over 40 years!. Small universe.....

I am probably older that you as I left school 1961.
Using friendsReunited I managed to find 2 "friends" and enjoyed catching up. Tried using facebook but that throws up so many people with the same names I gave up.

FB has been excellent for relocating old friends - and for keeping in touch with folks I would otherwise have lost contact with.

Come come, there must be someone from your past you wonder about now and again. Someone you just kinda lost touch with/haven't buried under the patio with a stake through their heart.
I have several times got in touch with folk from my past. Variable results. But never anything terrible. Never regretted it.

I haven't seen my best friend and best man at my wedding for nearly 16 years. Others haven't seen or heard from him either. I've typed his name into Farcebook and stuff but no luck.
I've been invited to old school reunions over the years,but don't take up the offers. I didn't like most of them then,so i don't suppose i'd like them now.

yes, i have used it to contact one or two folk. I ask them to get back if interested. If they do i tell them that i will unfriend/block them on FB and from then on it is email/direct coms. FB is a mental menace.

Speaking of which, this is what I had for dinner last night, Linda's, avo, Vampire Killer sauce in a bagel.

Yes. Far too much plate showing for that to be a proper meal.
