Wanted: 65-yearold Imeldist classmates

The Plan

Because my mother's class was all girls, most of the names I have are maiden names. This will be a challenge when I search for classmates.

1.) Google search each name
2.) Search for Netizens in Dagupan with same last surnames - they might be relatives of the Imeldists of 1957
3.) Contact Domincan School
4.) Make a list on Alumni.Net

That's it so far. What other strategies can I use to find the Imeldists?

The Crusade

Over the past couple of years, I have been trying to teach my mother to use e-mail. Since she's in Baguio while I'm in Manila, I don't get the chance to coach her for long periods. She easily gets tired staring at the monitor so I get to coach her just around half an hour when I'm in Baguio. And that's not very often.

Long story short: I've been trying to find ways to motivate her to e-mail more often so she gets used to it.

And finally, she found one good motivation: To write her long lost elementary classmates.

Thus, this blog which aims to find her classmates and get in touch with them through e-mail. And then later, maybe even through skype or yahoo messenger! (?)

Let's see how it will go.

Goodluck to us, Mom!
