P.S.

Issue : Web sites that put you in touch with former high school classmates.

DFO : I signed up for Classmates.com a coupla years ago to see what my old Gridley (northern California) High mates were doing. And had mixed results. After a coupla exchanges of e-mails, most contacts withered on the vine. Then, some didn’t want to answer questions about themselves. In one case, shortly after 9/11, a former classmate who serves at the Pentagon, cut off contact when I reminded him that I was a newspaperman. All in all, it was a weird experience. I dropped out after a year.

Question: Have you ever hooked up with a service like Classmates.com and did you have better luck than I did?
