O Julie, Where Art Thou?

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

  10. Cindy ~ Thanks! I let you guys know if I've located her :)

    Ya, 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...

  16. Marzie ~ Thanks dear :) I hope I'll find her eventually. I've even tried to look for her at FB.

    There 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
