Old high school buddy found me on “My Life”

  I check The Kansas City dot Com site often.  I check the obituaries.  I sometimes search for someone by name and I do not know why I even do that because it just sends you to www.mylife.com and they try and get you to sign up for a membership.
  Tonight I did a search and there was a message there for me dated 08/15/2011 and it was from a guy that I went to high school with and in fact we were very good friends.
  In fact we walked home often with each other.
  I have not heard from him over 50 years.  The last time I talked to him was on the telephone and that day was one of the worst days of my life.
  After high school I did not know what happened to him and then one day I got a call from him.  He was in town and had just completed some military training.  He was in the service.  I told him that a couple of guys from high school were coming over to pick me up and we all three were going to a drive in movie.  Fred, that is his name, said great he would love to see me and the other guys so I got his address and told him that we would pick him up.  So Larry and Jerry came over and picked me up and we started out and I told them that Fred was in the military and home and he wanted us to pick him up and go to the movie with us.  They said “no” they did not want to pick him up for some reason.
  I should have said OK take me back home but I did not.  I had no phone number for Fred.  I felt sick and guilty at the movie and I have felt bad about that night my entire life.
 
  So I got a message from Fred with his email and his phone number and I am going to try and get hold of him.  The first thing I will tell him is how sorry I am about that night.  I am not sure if he will even remember it.  But I sure have remembered that night.
