E went to a going-away tonight for her friend, F. F's family is moving to California for a year for her father's job, then they'll see whether they like it or whether they'll move back. E and F are both hoping they come back. Here's a group picture with F giving E a big hug:
E and F met at the U of I engineering camp the summer before their eighth-grade year. E was describing her middle school and said there are two middle schools in town that identical to each other. F said that sounded a lot like her town and asked where she E lived. They soon discovered they were both from Oak Park. E was at Julian and F was at Brooks. The girls left camp without getting each others' phone numbers, but I used my expertise Google skills and searched F+Brooks and found a picture of a girl with her name. From there we were able to get a phone number and E called. No, I'm not a stalker.
Fortunately, it was the right one and the two girls kept in touch through phone calls throughout eighth grade. In high school, they were reunited and had lunch together first semester and history together second semester.
