Nor I you, Nick, it was a real shocker.  But a nice one at that.
I too have been finding people from my past.  It was through the miracle of the
finger daemon on the ARPAnet that I contacted Brian Pinkerton at Wisconsin
with whom I suffered through 6-12th grade.  I have found 3 other people
currently going to Berkeley besides Nick who I knew at one point or another in
Madison, basically by noticing their name in /etc/passwd or whatever.

One instance that didn't turn out so well a few months ago involved a letter
posted to net.dcom by Lori Pratt at Dartmouth.  I am pretty sure that this was
the same Lori Pratt who founded the Computer Club at West High in Madison. 
Unfortunately entropy set in and I didn't send her anything until the summer,
a letter which was promptly returned by the mailer at dartvax, "user unknown".
Apparently she has defected to the Big Blue.  Oh well.
