LinkedIn High School Contact

Connections sometimes come out of the blue. LinkedIn is a great place for business and work colleagues as well as anyone that you may want to stay in touch with on a social media platform. Although I rarely use it, Facebook is more for friends and family whereas LinkedIn is of a less personal nature. So it was with great interest when I received a notification when a high school connection left a message. Our older sisters were really more connected than we were, but the back and forth conversation was interesting too. The goal was to reconnect the older sisters, but in the meantime share collective experiences over the last fifty years! She lives in California and I am in Virginia. She still has family in Virginia - in fact one of them owns a winery in Culpeper - where the Library of Congress has a satellite Packard campus for storing old nitrate films and all things Hollywood. Her family member also does work at a Smithsonian museum, all of which are so familiar to us having lived on Capitol Hill for thirteen years. She and her sister may visit their aunt in Virginia some time. Even though we didn’t really know each other it’s nostalgic to reminisce with people who have passed through your life. There is something to be said about social media platforms. That is one of the advantages.
