Just joined a group of my high school alumni. Bummer part is discovering that about half of my mates have passed on.
There are times facebook is a double edged sword

Iām not on Facebook but my husband is.
He is in a fishing group. When he posts his fishing group he gets close to 1,000 likes. Heās not after the likes. Heās also into woodworking and foraging so has many areas on Facebook he likes.
Heās 5 years younger than me so isnāt even a senior yet. He worked at the same company for almost 30 years and has lost many friends from there over the years. Then again he keeps in touch with many past co workers via Facebook so I understand that double edged sword. Heās talked about these people for decades so I feel like Iāve known them also.
Itās sad but itās part of life. I try and remind myself that they are in a much better place now.

Back in the late 90's I thought I would try out the Classmates site. That was a mistake but anyway I did found out on that site that my first serious girlfriend from high school had died in 1992. We had lost touch a couple of years after graduating from high school so it was a huge shock to me.
When FB came around I did join my high school alumni group and just like you all have said it is sad when you do see the surviving members dwindle down. When I find out that someone who i was friends in high school with dies, I feel like a part of my youth has died also even if I haven't communicated with that friend for almost 50 years.

My son has a Facebook page. He just sent me a Facebook link where he recorded a two hour concert he and his friend played last weekend. That is why I joined. I post a few things now and then, and have joined a few groups that I am interested in. I might spend about an hour a week there.
