Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I got a wonderful surprise last night, a phone call from a childhood friend that I haven't seen in 40 years! She moved to Texas in Jr. High, but came back to Indiana every year to visit family, so we saw each other through high school. Then we kept in touch by phone & letters for another 10 years or so. I lost the last letter she sent me, but I thought that she had gotten married & I couldn't remember the last name. I thought about her over the years & attempted to find her brothers or grandparents (couldn't remember her parents' names!), but had no success. Then a week or so ago, in looking at the photos from my h.s. reunion, I decided to try again, using her maiden name. There she was, or I hoped, so I left a message on her voice mail, and last night she called me back. We talked for 6 and a half hours! She lives in Iowa, and comes back to Indiana every year to visit her parents. So we are looking forward to getting together the next time she's here. Isn't that amazing?
