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:
- 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.
- Look for family.
Your friend may not be available, but a brother, sister, or parents could help you in your search.
- 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.
- 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.
Watch Mike and Michelle’s emotional reunion on iVillage!
