I do this all the time, mostly for people I used to know that I haven't seen in 10 or 20 years. Most of them are off the radar, but a surprising number aren't. I'm a pretty good researcher; so if they're out there, I can find them.
I researched one guy I used to work for who was an actual card-carrying Commie, a total revolutionary. Now he's living in a posh surburb, belongs to the Democratic Central Committee, and has a couple of kids in high school. I'm pretty sure it's him, because he used to live one town over when I knew him, and he's got an unusual last name.
Another guy I used to work for was the ultimate young-Republican buttoned-down venture-capital-grubbing software entrepreneur. Now he's a charismatic preacher in Chicago. Got his email address and chatted him up, and yep, it was actually him. Unfortunately, he hadn't improved.
I love doing this stuff. Problem is, I'm getting so old I'm forgetting a lot of names and that's kind of limiting, ...... uh, what was I saying?
