Do you still keep in touch with your HS friends?

Most of my friends from HS I’m not as close with. I do have a couple though that I’d actually say I’m closer with now. One is a friend I’ve had since I was three and I just can’t imagine that we’ll ever not be friends. The other was the guy who was my best friend in HS and the person from my HS that I’ve spent the most time visiting or having him visit since we’ve gone off to college, graduated and each started grad school. He’s coming to visit in two weeks as a matter of fact.d

That said, Facebook didn’t come about until my senior year, and there are still a lot of non-joiners from my friends from HS. Facebook though has also allowed me to re-connect and keep up with a lot of people that I most likely would have never seen until my tenth HS reunion (my school doesn’t do 5 year reunions). It’s been nice to see who’s getting engaged, married, or even start having kids. It’s not like I’m sending them messages or writing on their walls very often, if ever, but I think that things might have been a little different if facebook had been around when I was a freshman. My friends would have stayed in better contact, and I likely wouldn’t have “friended” people outside of my group of friends (sometimes you have to let the pettiness of HS fade).
