Lost Pen Pals

If you are searching for a pen pal you lost long ago, but would love to reconnect with, enter your request below -- you never know, they might find you!

-- Explain when you were pals and how you both met

-- Tell us a little about the pal when you knew them... so that IF another pal is reading it, or even the pal you are seeking, they KNOW you are talking about them (where they lived, little things you remember about family, etc).

-- I will only publish your request if you leave enough details about your lost pal. A name and location is not enough to find a pal -- tell us more!
