When I need a break from studies or just from the 'every day', I log onto the Internet and go to my facebook or Myspace accts just to catch up with what's going on with people around me and my area. Well I started getting curious about where my OLD friend may be now. I'm talking like grammar school days and one girl I hadn't seen in just over 20 years! She'd been my best friend from 3rd grade, then moved to TX for HS and never came back but her family would travel here to Daytona Beach ever Summer so I got to see her at least once a year and we wrote all the time. We even came up with sending tapes of ourselves talking to each other. Sweet huh? LOL
Well, sometime in 1991 was the last time we ever talked on the phone. I'm not sure but I may have said I'd call her back, that didn't happen and we really never caught up again. I DO understand the phone works both ways but as I remember, I was horrible at keeping up with people. Hence one of the reason's I LOVE the Internet. It's at my finger tips all day so when I think of something I need to tell someone, I write them and thats' that.
So I got curious and started seeking this friend out. Knowing what her married name was when she'd come here for a visit in 1988 with him, that was where I started. I'll have to say, over the past few years, I've become VERY proficient searching public records sites and putting 'two and two' together to find out most anything I want to about people I'm interested in.
Today I saw the first picture of my friend I've seen in 20 years!! Granted, it was taken in 2004 and if I'd passed her on the street, I would not have known her, but it's HER! I also found an email, and a mailing address. I'm debating on exactly how I should contact her and what approach I should take........if anyone has any suggests, just let me know :)
