Any Suggestions for ways to find out how to contact friends you have lost touch with, even a long

[Mike 03]

time ago?

I've googled them and so forth, and was unable to find anything. But I don't have much time to waste now. Any good idea about how to contact friends from the past??

1. try Facebook

Facebook has gotten me in touch with old friends.

Thank you.

6. Cool!

I joined just now, as I happen to be looking for someone too. Didn't find her, but couldn't have been easier and I did see a number of people who I haven't seen in ages.

8. hell yes

I have found people on there that I haven't seen/talked to in well over a decade. It's really nice. :)

2. I'll second the Facebook suggestion.

4. Facebook, myspace

Search where they went to college to see if any alumni news comes up (if they went to college or are of age), searching phone books (or on-line versions, I use switchboard.com)

5. These are all good suggestions.

I'm trying really hard to reach him.

But your ideas mean a lot. Thank you. I will let you know if I can find him. He was a good friend to me. He's the last person I need to apologize to who is still alive.

7. I can't find my old friends either, Mike.

Does anyone know of a free people search site? I just don't think these "old" ;) friends would be on Facebook.

9. I found a lot of lost folks from my distant past by using Switchboard.com

10. Oddly enough, this thread inspired me to Google a friend from the past.

I found her, too. Or at least I think I did. Her age is right, her mother's name is right, and apparently she lives just a couple of states over. I ended up with a PO box address which I'm not sure is accurate, but having a devil of a time finding a free site to give me an e-mail address. Oh well. Might just drop a snail mail to the PO box and see what happens.
