At the start of the school year I became increasingly involved with Facebook. Going to Ethan’s open house before the start of kindergarten brought back a flood of memories from elementary school and I hit facebook where I found many of my former classmates. For the past 2 weeks we’ve been retelling stories from our days in school and I have uploaded scans of my class pictures from K-8th grade. We’ve been having a blast reconnecting and remembering our times together.

I have to admit that I actually joined facebook over a year ago, but I didn’t get it.  I connected with a few people, but didn’t see the point of all the silly features.  That has all changed now.  I have found it an amazingly useful tool for finding and staying in touch with old friends.  We’ve setup a group for the class of 91 at my school and other people are adding their own photos.  A lot of memories that I had forgotten are coming back to me and I am also hearing new stories for the first time.

At the same time, Ethan is coming home with his own stories from school and is so excited about his classmates and his teacher.  I had always remembered school being a lot of fun, but I’d forgotten the details and the individual stories until now.  It is also fascinating to hear a story from someone elses perspective now that we’re adults.

If you haven’t already, try joining Facebook and see if you can find some old friends.  It can be tough to find people by name so searching by school is often the best bet.  Once you find that first person you can usually find a lot more people who they are already linked to.  Once you’ve got the gang back together online, start scanning and uploading the old photos.  It’s worth it just for the hair and the outfits.  I’m in the backrow, 4th from the left wearing the yellow shirt and stylish plaid pants.
