Hey guys,
Most of you might not have even heard of Big Blue Marble, it was a program in the 70's that hooked you up with a Pen Pal. Wayyyyyyyy before the internet, you actually could get a pen pal and write them letters. Well mine was Stephanie Jean Cashon (they must have hooked us up because we had the same initials and were the same age lol) She lived in Ohio and I was in Cali. We wrote each other from the time we were about 10 through high school. I guess it just got boring so we stopped writing.
This weekend as I was going though BOXES of stuff (I am getting ready to move) I came across her letters, there had to be well over 100 letters. So I decided to try and find her, you can find anyone these days on line. hehe
I found her on Facebook with an AKA, she had a different last name so I sent her an email saying, "Stephhhhhhhhhhhhh is this you, my long lost Pen Pal, if not sorry to waste your time. But I hope it is you."
I got ALL teary eyed when I saw that she had emailed me back and it was her. She is married and has been in Alaska for the last 20 yrs. She said she's been to Cali a few times, thinks of me and wonders if she would recognize me in the streets. I AM so glad I found her.
I just wanted to share that with you guys. Did anyone else have a pen pal??????

Hej momci,
Većina vas možda nije ni čula za Big Blue Marble, bio je to program iz 70-ih koji vas je povezao sa dopisivanjem. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i pisaoe mu pisma. Pa moja je bila Stephanie Jean Cashon (mora da su nas spojili jer smo imali iste inicijale i istih godina lol) Ona je živela u Ohaju, a ja sam bio u Kaliju. Pisali smo jedni drugima od desete godine do srednje škole. Pretpostavljam da je postalo dosadno pa smo prestali da pišemo.
Ovog vikenda dok sam prolazio kroz KUTIJE stvari (spremam se da se preselim) naišao sam na njena pisma, moralo je biti preko 100 pisama. Zato sam odlučio da pokušam da je pronađem, ovih dana možete naći bilo koga na mreži. hehe
Našao sam je na Facebooku sa Akom, imala je drugačije prezime, pa sam joj poslao e-mail da kažem: "Stephhhhhhhhhhhh je to ti, moja dugo izgubljena olovka, ako nije žao što gubite vreme. Ali nadam se da ste vi. "
SVI su mi se zaplakali kada sam video da mi je poslala e-poštu i da je to bila ona. Udata je i na Aljasci je poslednjih 20 godina. Rekla je da je bila u Kaliju nekoliko puta, misli na mene i pita se da li bi me prepoznala na ulicama. Tako mi je drago što sam je našao.
Samo sam hteo da to podelim sa vama. Da li je još neko imao prijatelja za dopisivanje??????
