			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-277" title="graduation" src="http://blog.peoplefinders.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/graduation.jpg" alt="graduation" width="212" height="156" />Is your High School reunion coming up? This summer people who graduated anywhere from 5 to 50 plus years ago will get together to reconnect with friends from school they may not have seen for more than a decade.</p>
<p>At PeopleFinders.com we fully support the concept of reconnecting with people from your past. Seeing former classmates can be a fun and rewarding experience, but the days leading up to the big event often leave people feeling anxious and stressed. The thrill of reminiscing about school days and catching up with old friends can sometimes be overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety.</p>
<p><span id="more-268"></span></p>
<p>It’s normal to be nervous about reuniting with a group of people you spent most of your time with when you were younger. You may wonder what they look like now, how their lives have changed, how they will perceive the “new” you and if you will get along after so much time has passed. Luckily, modern technology makes it easy to cheat and get some of your questions answered in advance.</p>
<p>Want to find some classmates before your High School reunion? Try a <a href="http://www.peoplefinders.com/">People Search</a> to find anyone instantly. Once you’ve found them, you can learn a lot about their lives today. Use a <a href="http://www.peoplefinders.com/search/social/default.aspx">Social Network Search</a> to see the profiles, blogs, photos and other personal details they have posted on popular sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.</p>

<p>Finding classmates online allows you to contact them and enjoy some time catching up away from the rest of your graduating class. You may want to make plans to get together with one person or the whole gang in advance. This gives you an opportunity to reconnect with your former social group in a private and more relaxed setting.</p>
<p>Before you head off to your class reunion, take some time for yourself. Request a few days off work so you aren’t rushed and have more time to spend with old friends. Set up your travel arrangements well in advance so you don’t have to worry about your accommodations when you’re already nervous about the reunion. Get some rest before the big day, and consider meeting up with others on the way to your High School reunion so you can all go in together.</p>
<p>If your class reunion is this summer, have a great time reconnecting with faces that are very familiar, just a little bit older. Thank you for reading the PeopleFinders.com People Search blog.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Their stories are worth celebrating. People everywhere are reuniting with family and friends they haven’t seen in years, and it’s all thanks to modern technology that helps bring us together. At PeopleFinders.com we’re always excited to hear about people who were able to find each other again after so much time had passed.
Take the tale [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-96" title="older_sisters" src="http://blog.peoplefinders.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/older_sisters.jpg" alt="older_sisters" width="192" height="134" />Their stories are worth celebrating. People everywhere are reuniting with family and friends they haven’t seen in years, and it’s all thanks to modern technology that helps bring us together. At PeopleFinders.com we’re always excited to hear about people who were able to find each other again after so much time had passed.</p>
<p>Take the tale of <a href="http://www.chieftain.com/articles/2009/05/15/news/local/doc4a0cfd91a3ad5813386308.txt">two sisters</a> who were separated at a very young age and spent nearly 5 decades apart. One was so young when it happened that she didn’t even remember having a sibling, but after their reunion the pair immediately established a strong sisterly bond. Just goes to show that the passing of time is nothing compared to the power of emotion.</p>
<p><span id="more-76"></span></p>
<p>We were also touched by the story of a <a href="http://www.army.mil/-news/2009/05/06/20639-father-son-reunite-after-48-years/">father and son</a> who reunited after 48 years. Military obligations and foreign regulations caused them to be torn apart when the boy was only 3 months old, but his heartsick father never gave up hope. Thanks to the internet, the 2 were finally able to reestablish the connection that had been broken so long ago.</p>
<p>Stories like that motivate us to constantly maintain and upgrade the Web’s fastest and most reliable <a href="http://www.peoplefinders.com/">People Search</a> feature.  We’re dedicated to helping you find the people you’ve been missing as quickly as possible.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-100" title="army_buddy" src="http://blog.peoplefinders.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/army_buddy.jpg" alt="army_buddy" width="137" height="185" />When we receive messages from someone who used PeopleFinders.com to find people from their past it makes all the hard work we do worthwhile. Like the email from <a href="http://www.peoplefinders.com/about/testimonials">Richard Elam</a> which said “I am a Vietnam veteran, and I have been looking for veterans that were in my company. I have found about 30 veterans so far using PeopleFinders and still looking for more. I have reunited myself and the ones that I have found together after 40 years. Thank you, PeopleFinders”.</p>
