the internets

The Internet is truly an amazing place. I had a very good friend that I met back in the late 1960s — Hardy. We used to do sports car rallies, he drove and I was his navigator. He was even my landlord for a while. He moved back to Princeton in the mid 1970s but we kept in touch and, when I was in Buffalo on the occasional wind tunnel test, I would visit him. We lost track of each other in the mid 1980s. That has always bothered me for he was like a big brother to me in many ways. He helped me out many times. He even gave me his dad's 4x5 Graflex. I don't like losing good friends like that. Every year or so I would do a people search for him, but nada. Last night I was going through some old bookmarks and saw the bookmark for my search for Hardy and clicked on it. There was an address and telephone number! I called him this morning. It was good. Very good.
