I commented on a post on Facebook, where someone mentioned one of our elementary school teachers reading a book to us in the classroom, as I could pretty clearly remember it too. A bunch of people whose names I recognized commented on the post, too. I left a comment about a particular scene I remembered from the book, and this one gal answered my comment: "Aww." after which she said, "So good to see you on here Stacey ! I miss you and all the fun we had when we were little girls !" A-n-n-nd do I remember her? Of course not. I sent her a friend request, and I sure hope that I can remember who the heck this girl (woman -- we went to elementary school in the '70's) was !!!

LOL--well thank you. Don't know if it makes a difference, but I didn't start school until '75-'76--so, mid-seventies.

I hope you can figure out who she is. No class pictures you could look at?

Only the one that's posted on facebook -- and I sure don't recognize her from there. Maybe I should look again and see if she looks anything like the "grown up" photo she has on Facebook.

I hope you can remember her too! For whatever reason, I have remembered a lot of old classmates from way back when, but I'm afraid they have not remembered me. When I happened to see them on Facebook . . . I messaged some to reach out but they did not message me back. One did message to tell me he moved around a lot as a kid, so his memory of school people was fuzzy. Another told me I knew her during a traumatic time in her life, so she had blocked much of her childhood.

@xstitcher Did you ever find out? I remember now too that one may not have remembered me, but instead of admitting to it, he said "How've you been?" . Generic and safe .

There are several that I remember -- so many of them look just like I remember them (even though they're "all grown up") in the photos they put on Facebook ! This girl, though -- I do not remember to save my life !

I really, really don't like it when that happens. You know you know them and should remember them but your mind is a blsnk. Hope you remember her soon.

Me, too -- or at maybe I will just risk sounding like a dummy and say, "Exactly which classes did we have together ??? --or something.

@xstitcher sometimes if they like to talk they will say something that will jar your memory.
