I have a friend from Kindergarten that I just saw yesterday. We were friends the early part of elementary then her family moved to Canada, then Indiana then New York. In ninth grade she moved back and we were friends in High School. We have kept in touch with Christmas Cards every year. her husband was stationed in Hawaii with the army and we went over to stay with them after we were married for ten years. They took us on base and showed us the mountain that Hiroshima came through to bomb Pearl Harbor (only available to those on base, not open to the public.) she hasn't been back to Utah for a long time and just planned a trip here and we finally got to connect. They live in Tennessee now. so that makes us friends for fifty seven years!
