Has anyone,like me.Ever wondered what happened to those childhood friends you lost contact with long ago? Maybe you wish you could find out what they're up to now?
Or perhaps you'd rather leave them in the past?

My best friend, and closest connection to the past, is still here. We've enjoyed a 30 year friendship, that's only gotten stronger with the passage of time. Recalling boyhood mischief like it were yesterday.

2 years ago I ran into my 6th grade buddy from the back row. The playground partner who rescued me after a violent sledding mishap.
After 30 years he was delighted to see me in a pizza shop. Always wondered what happened to him. Turns out he was living close by all these years.

The others, though, drifted or moved away. I made attempts to contact them, but they were either disinterested or untraceable.

Some 20 years had passed, when I ran into a neighborhood acquaintance at our old 7-11.
He had changed little. I was apprehensive, but he spoke first; excited to see me and full of questions. I was amazed he still remembered me.

Of all the sidekicks, I've always wondered where my 8yr old friend in #3B went. We were inseparable; up to and including a serious biking accident where he was hit by a car.
