In the USA, I’m sorry to say, it boils down to one thing: “Are you rich?” Or, “Do you know someone who’s rich ?”

Elaine, I am not a writer, but you did say the truth I have noticed of friendship. I notice it especially with those of mychildhood friends… I am so glad we connected once again. Memories!

Michelle, I totally agree with the power of Facebook for reconnecting! Not everyone is on there, of course, but it’s a great start — and we also have personal phones, internet connections and fabulous apps. All of this technology allows us to keep up with so many more people, and more frequently, than prior generations. I think often of how it must have been in pioneer days, to head out across the country knowing you might never see friends and family again!

I have close friends in Alaska that I’ve grown up with (50 years!), but there are also childhood friends that I grew up with in Phila until I was age 12 and moved to AK with my family. This has been, in my opinion, the real power of Facebook – I’ve reconnected with some of those childhood friends. They were part of a time and place that is so different from my life in AK. I’ve always said: Our friends are our “institutional memory.”
