I suppose that most people would not think about someone they knew 50 years ago and go through the trouble to locate them and then give them a phone call. Well, I would. For no explainable reason, I thought about a friend I had all those years ago and I called him. He was surprised.
With the resources on the internet today, it is not hard to find almost anyone. In fact, there is too much information available on everyone. Just Google your name sometime and see what pops up.
Anyway, back to my story. " Don" and I were close friends but his family moved away from a little town in North Texas and I never heard from him again. We had a nice visit catching up on families and what has happened in our lives over the past more than half century. Turns out that he has a time share condo just a few minutes from where I live. He promised to let me know when he is in the area so we can meet.
I don’t know if people really like to get a call from such a distant past, but I’m one of those people that doesn’t care. I call them anyway.
You won’t be surprised how many of them have their phone disconnected and move after I call.
