As I previously told you, I turned the big 60 on January 5. Last Saturday I had a great thought: All the people I went to school with will be turning 60 this year also. I had a list of email addresses from our last reunion, and zipped off a short note wishing each of them a Happy 60th Birthday. The response I have received has been wonderful.
I heard from a girl I walked to school with for four years and who I have not seen since we graduated. She emailed 3 times that first night, and sent pictures of her family and let me know what she was doing. I heard from another guy who I haven't seen in years and he sent pictures. I heard from a friend who is now living in the Florida Keys teaching scuba diving (we're from Ohio, so that is a big leap). Everyone who emailed me back gave details of what they had been doing, and also asked about me, my family, and my mother and sisters, whom most also knew, since it was a very small town.
So if any of you are thinking about the good old days, contact your old friends. It made my weekend!
