How does one contact old highschool friends after more than ten years? I can only think of two ways.

First, look them up in the phone book and call everyone who even remotely fits the profile. For instance, you can call all the A Weaver's in the phone book for a location you once knew them. This is no guarantee, of course, and you may annoy a lot of people with false positives. "Excuse me, did I know you in highschool?"

Secondly, you can call their parents. After all, while in highschool, they were probably living with their parents and the chances the parents still live there are non-trivial. Of course, then you have to deal with their parents and explain to them why you want to talk to their child after ten years, which is especially hard if their child is a girl (stalkers and such). Plus, what do you tell them? "I was feeling nostalgic for no good reason and decided I want to ring them up?"

So, has anyone ever tried to do this? How did you go about it? What do you people think or recommend? I've tried doing this with an ex-girlfriend with little success and that was only five years! Any ideas?

Thanks...
