What was the first name of the nicest person / people you've lost touch with from primary schooldays?

I will start with Jane. Best friend for three years then her parents got jobs in another city. We wrote to each other for about ten years.

Carly. We were absolutely best friends. She moved to another school and slowly we lost touch. I hope she is having the best life ever! X

I’m struggling to think of one I’ve lost touch with, I’m lucky to still have the nicest! The ‘best of the rest’ though… probably Heather or James. Both just darling people, so kind.

Samantha was lovely. We walked to school together for 7 years. Drifted when we went to different colleges. We have each other added on Facebook and she looks to be living a wonderful life.

Elaine, friends as soon as we started primary school. I moved away when I was roughly 12 and she came to visit me and vice versa. Lost touch then, very sadly. Have looked for her on facebook etc but no luck.

Susan, who moved to Canada, and Catherine, who moved to Norfolk. Kept in touch with both for about 10 years afterwards, but lost touch during the late teenage wilderness years.

Petra and Mary.
We were very different from each other, but the combination of us was great!

There are two: Imogen and Sinead. I have often wondered what happened to them.
