Must be melancholy time...
Just heard from an MIT classmate who I haven't seen in 45 years ;-)

A couple of weeks ago I heard from two classmates whom I haven't seen in
25 years. And my alma mater is around 3500 miles farther away than MIT ;-)
Do you own him money?

I heard from a guy I worked with, at the military radio & TV station in Alaska. I left there in 1974. He found a message that I had posted to a military website about the history of the AFRTS.
No. But, come to think of it, he might owe me some... we shared a refrigerator in the dorms ;-)

I'm of the opinion that these "late" calls are a result of a couple guys having a beer, when one of them says " Gee, I wonder if so-and-so is still among the living?" Idle curiosity with a touch of guilt over not dropping a line sooner.
Grab a phone and call some of the old buds.
Yep, you're right. I hadn't talked to Alan Kotok since 2002 and unfortunately got an E-mail that he died earlier this year :-(

I'd rather go to the store to pick up a six pack of "Buds" and forget calling the "old" friends or classmates of days gone by!
god is he in for a disappointment
