I had lost a dear old friend, but found a way to see him and make it right.

Reconnecting is never old.

I'm receiving a bunch of phone calls today, my birthday, from friends I've known for over 60 years. What a joy!

Those who knew you when are to be cherished.

It's very comforting :-)

it is one of the things about social media; enabling you to reconnect with folks from our "starts."
We enjoy h.s. reunion every five years and there is an annual picnic/ bbq every summer. I was meeting with another labor union political director last Friday at my fave diner and in walks a childhood friend who I see at both of the above. In his case we even endured day camp together. Aint it good to know...
