Childhood Friends Reunited After 54 Years

April 24th, 2008

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.”
