I grew up in Vernon, NJ. When I was young i had a friend named Aaron who used to live kind of down the street from me (I lived in Great Gorge near Mountain Creek.. or Action Park at the time, it is a huge condo complex on the side of a mountain near a ski resort and water park). He became my first real best friend, and since my dad and his dad were friends at the time, we got to spend a lot of time together. When I was 7 (well, going on 8) my parents seperated without warning and I went to go live with my mom without even getting to say goodbye to Aaron. As time went on, I kind of forgot about him, he would only come to mind on very rare occassion. When I was 13 I was going through some old school photos and I came accross my 2nd grade class picture. Aaron was in my class and just looking at it gave me the urge to find him and see how he was doing. I looked up his dad’s number, called him and he gave me Aaron’s number (because he was living with his mom at the time in Highland Lakes). So I called and we spoke for about 15 minutes. It was kind of awkward seeing as he and I hadn’t even seen each other since we were 7, but he remembered me and we kind of caught up as far as living situations go. Now I am almost 18 years old… My parents and I went driving around tonight and we passed by where I used to live in Vernon. We got to talking about Aaron and now that he and I are both older I would love to get back in touch with him again. I mean, maybe it is dumb seeing as it was so long ago that I actually knew the kid, but I guess I just want to make sure his life is okay and that he grew up to be a good person (which I wouldn’t doubt anyway). I tried finding him on Myspace tonight and he had an account but must have shut it down 2 years ago. I really don’t know what else to do. I don’t know how to contact him and would like to avoid awkward phone conversations. Not to mention I don’t know if he even lives in Highland Lakes anymore. I haven’t spoken to him in 5 years, and many things could have changed. All I know is that finding Aaron won’ be an easy goal…
