Have you ever found an old friend online

I was thinking of an old friend I knew in high school - my only friend in high school, really.  I last saw her at my mother's funeral and we swore, as we always do, that we'd keep in touch, but, as we always do, we never followed up on it. I was thinking of how cool it would be if she were on Facebook, but couldn't find her name there, and then, figuring she has a computer (doesn't everyone? lol), I began wondering if I could find her or her email address online. It would help if I knew her address, but I don't - just the town she's in. So you see where my problem lies.

 

Have any of you found an acquaintance through an online site, like Facebook or Twitter or something? Or by any other means? If you did, how did you do it?

How nice of those people to go out of their way to reconnect you with your friend!

Well, the only person I talked to in high school was this one friend.

I joined Classmates a few years ago and found two of my cousins that I'd not talked to in 35 or so years. Was well worth the joining fee. When my membership ran out, I didn't rejoin; but am still there with my username and password. You can look up a class list there I think

I tried to find her in Facebook, but she wasn't there. I don't belong to Twitter or My Space, so didn't try there. I have her address, though, so I'll write a note to her and give her my email address.

No luck there, either. I tried her name, her husband's name
