We've all been there. That friend you had in high school moves away, and you lose complete touch, only to finally reconnect decades later. Such was my case this past weekend. I posted an item on a Facebook group I'm part of, and ended up getting a comment from a woman saying her brother, Bob, and I used to chum around a lot "back in the day". The last time I saw him was back in about 1982 or 83 when I spotted him in the restaurant of a Woolco store I worked at. I did say it was a long time ago.
Anyway, through his sister, I did make contact with Bob, and we've messaged, and I gave him a call as well. Here's where it gets kind of interesting. I knew he'd moved to Utah from Alberta many years ago, but had no idea where. Speaking with him, he told me his sister, Nancy, moved to Perth, Australia after marrying a bloke from Down Under. As mentioned, she found me on a group set up for people who either live in, or used to live in, Calgary, Alberta, where we grew up. Will I keep in touch with both after all these years? Yes, I will.
I guess the point of this whole thing is had it not been for a random encounter, we never would have met up again.
