When I started up on Facebook, I mainly joined because my mainstream friends were using it to socialize and plan events. I joined using my current name because, as I mentioned, Tramel is the name that my current friends know me as.
I had some idea that I'd get back in touch with friends in the past few years so I decided to include Lopez because I used that name for over 20 years.
I never anticipated that I'd re-connect with so many friends that I went to high school with.
So I think some of my high school friends have gotten mixed up because they don't see Lobato in my Facebook name.
In the past year, the South High cubbies have gotten together for three gatherings. All have been great fun.
At most of the get-togethers, the majority have been in Lisa's and Paul's graduating year.
But since I was the big sister, I still find people I remember seeing at the Babe Ruth games, or in the neighborhood, or at the Hook & Ladder, or in my sister/brother's circle of friends.
You hear snippets of "whatever happened to..." or "yea, she married so-and-so" or "did you hear he did such-and-such". It's been really fun re-connecting and making new friends.
I can't wait to see what's in store for 2010. Apparently my graduating year is actually going to put together a gathering in August, 2010...first time ever. Since South High no longer exists, it's been crazy to see so many different classes together at once.
Go South High!!!!

Funny ...the gatherings have been about identifying who and how you know everyone. We've used name tags to identify ourselves. Some you recognize - others, well....have matured.
