How to contact 20 old friends
How I did it: I first made a list of people I wanted to get in touch with. I revised this list as I discovered that some people were no longer find-able, adding new people. Whenever had chanced upon the memory of an old friend, I would add them to my list and try to find them.
Lessons & tips: I made a genuine effort to reach each person and have a chat, if only on IM or
telephone. When possible, I tried to meet up for coffee or lunch. Sometimes the rekindled friendships fizzled - I tried not to take it personally. I just moved on, trying to connect with more people and value those connections.
Resources: Facebook and google were helpful, along with email archives. Best of
all, I'm using Facebook and email to stay connected to rediscovered friends!
