So, I just recently remembered a pen pal I had from grade 3. My teacher went to a workshop in Quebec and had us each pair up with a kid from the class she worked with upon return. This girl and I stayed in touch until grade 6. I'm pretty sure it was my fault we lost contact because I didnt write back. Shame. Anyway, im trying to find her (and by find her, I mean google her). No luck yet.


Did any of you have pen pals as kids? How long did it last? anyone still in touch?

That is so crazi - i had a few and like you lost track. That is incredible - thank you for reminging me of that.

Yes! Her name is Sonya and it was one of those set up things in school as well. It's moved over to e-mail (thank you internet) but we still keep in touch. She just finished teacher's college and is living in London now!

I sent a few faxes to Mike Harris when he did somehting good and to thank him when he retired. He wrote back via postal mail on offical letterhead.

Does that count as a pen pal?

^ lol, RJ!!! Mike Harris has had lunch where I work twice in the last two weeks! we are becoming buddies!


ps. that is very kind if him, classy.

In grade 6 or 7 i think, we all got penpals from quebec in our french class.

i think we wrote like 3 or 4 floors back and forth. i had 2 penpals bc i was special

it was fun at the time... we never kept contact though after the year was done

when i was younger, me and my cousin would sometimes sends letters back and forth to keep in contact.

I prolly still have them all somewhere in a binder

OMG I remember pen pals! I used to have one in Alberta for a little while...it just faded out. I had one in BC too, and that bitch stopped writing. She kept moving all the time though, so maybe the last letter I sent didn't get to her.

So weird that you are posting this now. I was just thinking about my pen pal the other day. It was grade 3 when I started writing to my pen pal in Singaport. I wrote to her until I was about 20 and then lost touch when she moved away to go to university. I have been trying to find her too. Good luck with your hunt! You have inspired me to get back on mine!

yeah i remember our school set us up with them when we were really young. i know i had a guy that was handicapped and eventually we even got to meet and spend a few hours with the pen pals. but i lost contact eventually.

it was pretty exciting when the teacher would yell out "you guys got letters from your pen pals"

Spooky. I just had this conversation with someone the other day. Pen pals are such a nice concept.
