I was bored for a minute so I typed a few names into Google of some former coworkers, friends, and in-laws I really didn’t find anything interesting and there were several people I couldn’t find at all. I even checked obituaries Did you ever just get the urge to search someone from your past?

Yes, once in a while. I found a lot about a few friends and nothing online about others. I don't know why there's a difference.

I did and I’m sorry I did, because I found out that the 18-year-old son of a woman I was stationed with in Hawaii was murdered in the 90s.

There are times I have done that but not found what I wanted. By sometimes looking up this and that I discovered that by my name I could be found on YouTube but I do not create videos but they have my online favorites list.

I'll admit that I have done this. Sometimes, I get curious and wonder what they're doing.

Yes, occasionally. After many years I did actually get in touch with an old school contemporary that way.
