1) Try eBay. Set up a tracker for them. Also check the big used book sites. Post on a site for high school alums.

2) If you went to a reasonable sized public high school, they may be online at Ancestry.com.

I've found my yearbook from PA in the 1980s and my grandmothers from IL and NY from the 1930s.

I found out my one grandma's high school nickname and my uncle was able to explain it to me.

I regret introducing my kids to fast food at an early age and giving my daughter a phone at 13.

Law school. I only went bc I didn't know what else I wanted to do at the time and my parents pressured me. I hated the profession for 75% of the time. I wish I tried other things and didn't bow down to pressure.

I'd see if i could photocopy mine if someone asked. maybe ask around. Or google.


If the company that was used to make the yearbooks is still around, you could try contacting them and asking if they'll get copy from archives. Know two different people who got theirs this way but it was only 10 years past MS/HS.

I also left some items with an ex, before moving to another country for school. I ended up being away for 6 years. When I returned to get my belonging back, he never replied. Some of the things were yearbooks from college and some were pieces of art I picked up while travelling in China. In the end, they were just things. But they were also memories and not replaceable.

Otherwise I don’t have regrets about life choices. It’s never too late for most things.

Hello regretful friends. I mustered up my courage and talked to an old friend whose brother was the same year as my love. It’s a little a bit of a stretch for him to just say hi, but he had a sort of legitimate reason to call. I still think it was awkward, but he called and said that his MIL has a malady in my guy’s specialty [true], and he was wondering if he had an opinion about the many programs in Boston [this was kind of false- it obviously never occurred to him to ask].

Naturally the call started with some short chatter. Friend’s brother asked about the professorship and tried to casually see if he was bicoastal or moved. Answer was sort of evasive. He did talk about his kids but did not mention his wife at all. Friend’s brother asked “How’s Jane?” and the answer was fine with a subject change. Then they just talked about the MIL and options (thank you brother’s friend).

My cousin figured out that my lost love lives in a state with publicly accessible property records and court dockets (although if you have an uncontested divorce, which I think he would, nothing would show anyway). Right now, nothing shows in dockets and their properties are co-owned or trust owned. Nothing is for sale.

It definitely seems like something could be up. But it’s not definitive by any means. If I decide to contact him myself, or find out anything big, I will start a new thread.



It seems like it's DOA.
