[quote=Anonymous]Based on your description, this is one I would go to.

It’s the combo of two things - one, you knew the friend well when you were young, and thus know the dad and their relationship, plus you’re still in fairly close touch now.

That’s a rare combo. As we age, our friends don’t really meet or interact with our parents the way that high school and early adult friends did. I’m 40 - I don’t think any friend I’ve met in the past 15-20 years would really know my parents (maybe meet them once or twice, but not know them).

I have maybe 3-4 friends left that I’m close with who know my parents well (high school and early college friends) and I’m someone who holds on to friends more than most! I think for most people that number is 1 or 2, if any. If you’re this person’s 1-2 like that, I think you should go.

If you happen to know that they keep in touch with a large contingent of high school friends who live local, it’d be a different answer, but that’s pretty unusual.

If you were a friend (even a pretty close one) of more recent vintage, I wouldn’t fly for this. [/quote]
