Where are they now?

DD found her cousin whom she'd never met on FB. DH and his sister fell out before DD was born.
I found a pen friend that I wrote to for 5 yrs before I knew DH. I was persuaded to stop writing to him. DH obviously no longer thinks he's a threat. As he no longer objects to us having contact.
I didn't have friends at school

I did find some a couple of years ago, through FR. One drove all the way up here to see me, and now we communicate on FB. The others started out as a flurry of emails, which gradually petered out, but we send xmas cards now and it's good to know that they are still there. Only one has died that I know of, in a car crash.

Am still in touch with quite a number of old school friends from primary and secondary school. Went back for a reunion when we were all about 40 and was amazed that we all recognised each other even after all those years.

I still have close friends from college and from every job I had along the way, plus another lovely friend who I met in Farnborough Hospital in Kent when we shared a room after delivering our first babies 32 years ago. They have visited us in Malta and we have stayed with them in the UK.

Just wish my friends lived closer, but we all know we can count on each other and would help each other out in a heartbeat.

I had a card at Christmas from someone I had been at college with 50 years ago.

I found that really , really weird, didn't do anything for me at all.

I ignored it !!

:-(

My year at secondary school has a Facebook group, but only a fraction of the year has found it. I have also found a few from primary school on Facebook. They are now spread all over the world. Very few have stayed in the original area -Redbridge, Essex. I'd love to know if any are on GN.

Yes Aka you are not on your own in that.I tried a few years ago to make contact through Friends Re united,some general queries and some specific,with very limited success. I didn't continue for long, having the not un-natural thought that some may have died.
