We lost contact as busy mothers during our 20s. Her married name was quite unusual so I had the brilliant idea to see if I could find anyone with that last name one nite. I didn't find Robin but I found a young woman I thought must be her daughter...I remembered the daughter's name because it was quite unusual too. So...I sent Daughter the message and she answered back the next day telling me YES, she was my pen pal's daughter and knew her mom would be thrilled to hear from me. She got Robin and me reconnected. Funny end to the story...Robin hates computers, so we're back to being pen pals again. We hadn't had any contact in almost 30 years and it was like we picked up right where we left off. Hmmmmm...I think I have a couple of blog entries coming from this and my last comment, ha! Oh, and Robin and I even met back when I was 19. I visited a friend in Minneapolis and the town Robin lived in was about 50 miles away. My friend LuAnn drove me there so Robin and I could meet. Again, we just started chatting like we'd known each other forever. So, Donna...get brave and make that call. Tho, as another telephone-avoider unless it's absolutely dire I use one...I understand your angst!!! And if you do, update us please!MissKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726021829363492972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-39736315475748867142009-11-20T19:38:50.099-06:002009-11-20T19:38:50.099-06:00That was a great story!!

I've reconnected with a few people I worked with before I got married and some classmates too.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506026496063245730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-65742270333966135772009-11-18T11:42:45.969-06:002009-11-18T11:42:45.969-06:00Interesting story. Cliff's words to you remind...Interesting story. Cliff's words to you reminded me of Mel telling me those same words. Boy! Did that light a fire under me. I not only got the job but I stayed there a year and eight months and loved it. Had to quit because my job conflicted with Mel's and left the kids home at night alone.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.com
