I was watching I think 60 Minutes when I got home tonight and they were reporting on Classmates.com and how it was a good resource or search engine for lost friends or family…so I thought maybe I could locate two guys I’ve been searching for over the last 6 or so years
1)Eric: I've been looking for Eric since we lost touch about 7 years ago, we dated for awhile about 10 years ago but nothing happened(literally I mean nothing ever happened between us)..we were better friends than anything else..but I've missed hanging out with him..he was more like a brother to me than anything else.
Results with Classmates: I think I might have finally found him..the guy I remember had an angel of the swan song tattooed on his back, was a drummer in a band (this is how I know how to play the drums), he went to high school in Fremont, one of his best friends was named Eric (slightly confusing when those two were together), his mom lived in SF and then Oakland (I lived there too with them) and he rode a motorcyle.
The guy I wrote to sounds alot like Eric's personality except he's in the Air Force in Italy..which was so not Eric back then..but we've all grown up since we were in our 20s. Maybe he's the right Eric..hope so.
2) John "Gator": I met Gator when I was 18 or 19 and had just gotten kicked out of my parents again for like the 3rd time because I stayed out all night with Gator and Chris and didn't call home. I haven't seen Gator since he moved out of California probably about 10-11 years ago. Gator was from Jackson, CA - a very small town with only 1 high school..hence I knew where he grew up and searched for him in Jackson..
Found a match..only one John Lowe registered in Classmates from Jackson, CA. Hopefully this is the right guy. I have some news about Chris that he needs to know about..he was the one person I couldn't find when Chris past away. But in general, I miss Gator.
The good thing about Classmates.com is that if you know where the lost friend went to high school and you know which town that was in..there is a good chance that they might be listed there. I've used other search engines to find John Lowe but you wouldn't believe how many John Lowe's there are in this world and I could never find Eric. And I found my best friend from high school on Classmates, I hadn't seen her in over 15 years..and she lives about 30miles from me and works about 10 miles from me..she's still the same Sara but she has kids now and is a good mommy..would have never thought that of her in the past.
Hope the two guys I wrote tonight are the the correct John and Eric..
