Of the few replies I've had to this blog, one of my fellow ex-aircraft workers has mentioned that he'd like to contact and/or find out where some of his "old" working companions are now. I'm wondering if any of you are also interested in finding others who you've worked with in the past.
It's really a kick in the butt to make contact and see what they've been doing, i.e., if they have another area they are working in, got remarried (or in my case, married for the 1st time), have new additions to the family (grand kids...hopefully), have take on new hobbies, or maybe even taken a exciting trip/vacation.
Many of us have relocated. The gentleman above is presently living in AZ, but prior to that had moved from CA, went back to school, became a minister, moved to KS and ended up in IA for several years before going to OK. So, in a period of 30 years since he left MDAC back in the 70's, he's changed careers, got married, had grand children, and moved to no less than 4 other states. I'm still in CA, where I was born, but soon hope to leave. Hey, I just heard that Orange County has over 7 million phone numbers....that's why they need to come up with another area code!
We could put together a listing of people who have relocated and show where they are today. Another suggestion would be for you to make a request for a "lost contact", i.e., Ron Fern (MDAC/Boeing 1967-2002) is looking for or would like to contact Geo. B. What do you think? Is there any interest?
There are several ways you can find people for free. One of the better places to combine several search engines and resources to look up an individual, both white pages and email is the ultimates. This is like a giant phonebook where you can get name address & current phone numbers for free. He is the link:

There are also several sites that allow you to search their databases once you've joined. Be selective if you choose this method, and think about your privacy before joining and providing them too much information. Here is one of the links:

Well, this is a start. I'd like you to reply if there is any interest in developing this as a regular feature of this blog.
