I am looking for Norman Chan, he used to go to Northmead High School with me in the late 80s. The last time I heard from him was a letter he wrote to me in 1995 from Queensland. I guess in pre-email days it was easier to lose touch with people. We were pretty good friends at school, we had that “honker” connection (even though he was really from HK and I was not), but he moved interstate before we finished high school. We corresponded via snail mail for quite a few years until 1995 (when I was a mad raver and what not). I’m not trying to hook up with an old high school sweetheart or some crap like that - I love my husband, ok! I’ve tried Googling, Facebook etc etc. There are about 50 Norman Chan’s on Facebook and they don’t all have pictures either. Since I haven’t seen him for about 15 years, that will make it difficult too. It also doesn’t help when you have no idea what network they may be part of now. He might not even live in Australia anymore. Do I have to send a message to each one of those people and ask them if they are the Norman I am looking for? Is that lame? Should I forget about him? I think it would be nice to make the effort because we used to be good friends. His brother Bernie used to work at Qantas - does that help? Anyone got any free or cheap detective hints for me?
Why now? I actually do think about him occasionally and I was going through an old “box of memories” tonight and I found a few cards & letters from him. Remember, I have a lot of spare time right now.
