Julie and I started writing when we were both 14 year olds and somehow we lost contact 6 years later. Yeah, she was my pen pal. Back then, the internet or email was unheard of.
I've tried googling her but I didn't quite get the results I wanted. Today, I found out about People Locator Services where one can actually find people by their names, middle names and surnames anywhere in the US, with a fee of course.
With over 5,000,000 records in their database, I'm sure I could get some information where she is now. Wish me luck :D

ohhh man, this is not good. I can already imagine all those bank I owe using this locater to search for me to tagih all the hutang I owe them ... LOL! I probably need a new place to hide already :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a good tool. But just try and owe the bank so money and they'll never fail to locate you la ... LOL! No need any fancy people locater ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I've lost a few penpals as well.. and it hurts not knowing where they are right now. :(
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should try this one out too!
I never have any penpal :-(
ReplyDeleteMust be nice. Hope u can find Julie!
If no fees incurred, maybe I'll try to locate some of my missing links...aiseh! 'cam wayang! Haha! :D
ReplyDeleteI had a pen pal in England back when I was in grade school--it would be fun to try to track her down--thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Hmm...I never have a penpal before. Perhaps you could find her. But it sound hard. =/
ReplyDeleteMat Dingo ~ Yup, bad news for all those who are trying to evade the banks... hehe
ReplyDeleteSpiff ~ Yup, it is a wonderful site but only works in the USA la. Malaysia is still safe! LOL!
ReplyDeleteCindy ~ Thanks! I let you guys know if I've located her :)
ReplyDeleteYa, I had quite a few pen pals too... but Julie was one special friend.
We started writing when we were still schooling, up until she got married. I even got her a gift from Body Shop! I hope she's living a happy life...
Gina ~ Well, it was fun and exciting getting her letters after weeks of waiting. Those were the good ol days :)
ReplyDeleteCrystal ~ Ya bah, kena bayar membership. Sia bulum apply lagi, takut juga kalau inda dapat info yang betul, rugi nanti kan.
ReplyDeleteMacam jejak kasih seja... hehehe
Octamom ~ I had one from England too, there was also one from Canada but most of them were from the US. Julie is from Lincoln, Nebraska.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if the link works for those living in England but you can always try. Good luck to you too :)
Tekkaus ~ I don't think you'd like it, the process is time consuming!
ReplyDeleteI hope ul find ur friend Nessa! I had pen pals back then too, but we never really kept in touch! ;)
ReplyDeleteMarzie ~ Thanks dear :) I hope I'll find her eventually. I've even tried to look for her at FB.
ReplyDeleteThere was one girl with the same name but with a slightly different surname (it could be her husband's name). She hasn't got back to me though :(
Well, those days pen pals were the rage kan. I loved getting their letters cos I'd get to collect the lovely stamps too... hehe
Nessa, I tried searching for some of my long lost frens at FB too, but no go! I had a pen pal from France and her name was Karine Pertus, ceh wah can remember her name after all these years! ;)
ReplyDeleteMarzie ~ Her name is Julie Wigington (the one I'm looking for), the others were Stephane Paquin (Canada), Darren McClenan, David Aronson, Steven (forgot the surname) and another guy who worked in a hospital.
ReplyDeleteMy ad was replied mostly by guys! LOL!
Wah so many pen pals! I only had 2, Karine and another girl but I can't remember her name! ;)
ReplyDeleteMarzie ~ Yeah, quite a number but I was very rajin to write those days cos I loved getting the stamps too! LOL!
