How much or how little contact do you have now with your school friends?

I definitely fall into the latter category as regards this, be it for better or worse. It has been many years since we left secondary/high school, so I guess that it is only to be expected that one falls out of touch with their old friends. I had some really good friends when I was growing up and from time to time, I recall the things that we got up back in those days and laugh.

That is just me though. What has your experience been?

 

I don't even remember any of these people...

Which is fine... I'm sure they don't even remember me.

 

I went to one reunion about 25 years ago. It was ok. I remember all of them, 92 to the class. If they get another one together, I'll go, but I would imagine there would only be a few left. Class of '57.

 

Only a few.

 

more people have said happy birthday to me today on line, then the total number of friends i ever knew i had in school.
if i had secret friends they kept their secrets. of course we didn't have internet then, or even computers an ordinary person could afford.

its not something i really worry about. i know one killed himself with his car, that was fifty years ago. the other i last saw driving a bus, and that was 30 years ago.
i remember what most of them looked like then, but then was between 50 and 60 years ago, so i doubt i'd have the slightest idea who any of them were if i ever did see any of them again.
i never really hung around with anyone very much. took more long walks by myself in the woods instead.

what tyrson said. i can't imagine any good reason anyone from then would have to remember me. not that many bad ones either.

 

Only two from the class of '64. So many died young or just disappeared.

 

you were two years ahead of me. 66 here. not many today were born yet to remember this, but if you were male and could walk talk and breathe,
in the u.s. the army was drafting us to go kill people who didn't need killing in viet nam. there were a small number of ways out of this;
college deferments, if you had parents who were willing and could afford them, emigration to canada or some other non-involved nation,
if you had the courage and a spirit of advanture, you could try hitchiking there, if you lacked other resources as i did (but didn't),
or you could avoid the army by enlisting in some other branch of the service. navy and coast guard both sounded interesting,
but air force had the best technotoys, and that's where i went.

 

I send birthday greetings to my good high school friends. I occasionally exchange emails with a few. I enjoy seeing them when I visit my home town or attend high school reunions.

 

I have,
About half a dozen on FB from Primary school (4-11)
One from Secondary school (11-16)
None from College
But then again, - it was a long time ago
