LinkedIn continues to allow me to get back in touch with people from my past, and last night I met up for coffee and a chat with two of my former classmates, Charles and Ludovic. It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to reconnect to people one hasn't seen for 28 years, or how little they've changed in the intervening years. Sure, their hair may have turned grey, or they might turn up wearing glasses when they used to have 20-20 vision when you knew them last, but their manner and persona is instantly recognisable and if you got on well before, you'll get on just as well or even better now, when the vehemence of youth has been tempered by the more considered opinions of old age ;-).
