Back in touch

Last week an associate sent an invitation to join his LinkedIn network, which I did promptly. There had been an article about it in The Plain Dealer a couple of weeks ago and it sounded like an excellent way to network with other people.

Since then, I've reestablished contact with former colleagues, some of whom I haven't seen in 20 years. What's been most enjoyable is reading of their successes and careers and families. Some are already retired, others are semi-retired and still others are actively pursuing careers.

Like many people, I tend to get caught up in the day-to-day rush of work and family without staying in touch with co-workers, college friends and others. With the tools now available to me, though, I look forward to reestablishing those relationships.

Welcome back, friends!
