Terri was 16 when she dated 18-year-old Bob, and though the couple had a whirlwind romance the relationship ended after Bob turned 19. Eventually they lost touch, but their memories of those good times remained.

“After I divorced I contacted Bob via Reunion.com, but there was no response,” Terri says. “Fortunately, Reunion.com was persistent.”

On a hot August day, Bob noticed an email that Terri was searching for him. “I called her and we met for lunch the next day,” he says.

“Sparks flew,” Terri happily recalls, “and we were married 18 months later.”

Adds Bob, “Our story is full of romance, passion, and charm. Simply put, we would not be so happy without Reunion.com.”

Having a hard time finding that old roommate, relative, or relationship?

Reunion.com’s People Search is an amazingly helpful tool, and these tips can help provide better results:

1. Check the spelling.
   The most common mistake involves accidentally mixing up letters in a person’s name. Even if you’re sure it looks right, carefully double-check your typing. Certain spellings like Brian and Bryan, or nicknames like Richard changing to Rick, can also hinder successful results—so try various options when searching.
2. Look for family.
   Your friend may not be available, but a brother, sister, or parents could help you in your search.
3. Browse the Class Lists.
   If you know where your friend went to school, check out Reunion.com’s high school class listings. And as with Tip #2, a former classmate may be able to help with your search.
4. Browse by location.
   Know the city your friend is living in? You can browse Members by zip code on Reunion.com.

Twenty-six years ago, Mike was separated from his 2-year-old daughter, and when his ex-wife’s new husband adopted little Michelle, Mike completely lost touch.

Michelle always wondered about her birth father, but it was a sensitive topic so she stopped mentioning him. Then, years later, she joined Reunion.com, placed Mike’s name in People Search, and a match appeared. “I thought, ‘Oh wow! He is out here somewhere!’”

That day, Mike received an email from Reunion.com saying someone was searching for his name. He saw it was Michelle and immediately sent her a safe, secure, private email through the website.

“You don’t know how much it means to find you,” it read. “Some prayers are answered.”

Michelle recalls, “I was speechless, teary, happy, nervous, scared — all the emotions in the whole world in one box.”

Touched by their story, Reunion.com arranged for Mike and Michelle to finally meet in Chicago this past January.

Timothy and Denise dated throughout their freshman year in high school, but the young couple parted ways and lost touch eventually. Twenty-six years later, still dreaming about his lost love, Timothy conducted a Reunion.com People Search for Denise. Even though Denise was a Member, he initially couldn’t find her because she hadn’t entered her maiden name.

When Denise, then divorced, added her maiden name to her Profile, she received a Who’s Searching for You? message. Upon seeing it was Tim, she immediately emailed him, eager to reconnect. Since then they have been inseparable. In front of family and friends, Timothy proposed and Denise joyfully accepted.

Wrote Timothy, “Thank you so much, Reunion.com, for making our lives so wonderful!”

If it weren’t for her profile information, Nannette may have lost Angie forever.

Throughout high school, Nannette, now 54, and Angie, now 55, were inseparable. In college, Angie and her boyfriend introduced Nannette to her first husband. The two young couples then moved to Orange County, CA.

Sadly, the friends lost touch after Nannette and her husband divorced and Angie and hers moved away. Nannette eventually remarried and moved several times over the following years, completely losing track of Angie in the process.

Recently, a mutual friend of the two noticed Nannette’s profile while visiting Reunion.com and put the long-lost friends—both living in Las Vegas—in contact for the first time in 30 years.

Nanette and Angie have now picked up right where they left off and are inseparable once again!

When Linda added her photo to her Reunion.com profile, she had no idea that it would change her life.

Fifty-four years ago, Linda lived in Wisconsin across the street from her best childhood friend, Reba. For years they were inseparable, spending hours together every day playing softball, football, and other games they invented. Unfortunately, after Reba’s family moved away when she was only 12, the friends lost touch.

Recently, Reba performed a People Search for Linda on Reunion.com and discovered her profile photo and instantly knew it was Linda. Soon after, Linda received the first phone call from her best friend in over 54 years. “I started screaming It’s Reba! Iit’s Reba!… I could hardly talk,” remembers Linda.

Amazingly, they now live only 12 miles from each other in Florida.

“You can’t believe how it feels to have someone you cared about so much walk into your life after so many years,” says Linda. “Thank you, Reunion.com, for really putting us in touch with each other again.”

Reunion.com’s People Search reunites these three army buddies in a snap!

During military training at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, in the early ’80s, fast friends Maria, Cheryl, and Avis — the “three blond musketeers” — were nearly inseparable. But then they were stationed to different parts of the world, and once they had left the military they lost all contact with each other.

Eventually, Cheryl managed to relocate her friend Avis back in their home state of Pennsylvania, but there was no sign of Maria.

Unwilling to let such a great friendship pass and after years of searching, Cheryl finally visited Reunion.com, and with a quick People Search found Maria’s profile! She posted a message, and soon the three musketeers were back in touch.

A few months later they all got back together when Avis and Cheryl drove to North Carolina to visit Maria and spend the weekend with her. “We caught up on each others’ lives and reminisced about old times,” Cheryl recounts. “Took a few pictures too. It was great to see Maria and be together again. Our work schedules have hampered our attempts to get together again. But thanks to Reunion.com we at least now have the chance to speak to each other and keep in touch.”
