Old School Friends « Posted: 21 June 2011 at 10:34 AM »
Does anyone remember their old friends?? I remember on the last day of school many moons a go me and my friends all promised to keep in contact and we all went our separate ways and lost touch, shame really.  Undecided Does anyone still keep in touch with their old school friends?

I keep in touch with a few old school friends, but I think its almost human nature to lose touch with old friends as you make new ones, your social circle is constantly changing.  Tools such as Facebook and Skype make it easier to stay in touch no matter where you are.

My oldest friend is a person I met at primary school 62 years ago.  We still keep in touch even though she lives down in Eastbourne.

I have lunch every 6 weeks with  four school friends, we havent always kept in touch but 'found' each other a few years back and tried to keep it going  since.I am in touch with one other spasmodically by email. Others who I was very close to both at school and early married life have disappeared which I regret

Its a lot less effort to keep in touch nowadays. When I left school it wasn't common for everybody even to have a phone in their home let alone email. I've got back in touch with lots of friends via Friends reunited a where there are areas for all the local Lowestoft school and places of work. it has been very enjoyable and enlightening to hear how friends turned out in the end - except the guy in my class who retired at 45 - I hate him!! ;-p

I think that was a jokey remark Aussie because the friend retired early and Frankie was meaning it in a joeky jealous way

One of the problems with trying to trace old female schoolfriends is the fact that most get married and therefore have a new surname - it's most annoying really.  Much easier to track down male friends.

Many women I know on Facebook put their maiden name as a 2nd surname on places like Facebook purely for that reason.
