I've been out for just about 19 years now. I stay in semi-regular contact with two friends, though one's in Iraq now and I don't go out of my way to see the other when I go back to town. Otherwise, with the exception of an occasional Christmas card to one other friend, I don't see or think too much about any of them.
The number of twists life has taken in those 19 years is astonishing. Falling out of touch with most of those friends is the least surprising of all of them.
