I just fielded a phone call for haddayr from Eugene Lang College, where the two of us went.  She also frequently gets mail from them -- usually letters requesting donations (like we really have money to be donating to private universities that have more money than they truly need) but sometimes its information about the school or the faculty or various alumni.

Since graduating from the school in 1992 (same year as Haddayr) I have yet to receive a single piece of mail addressed to me from my former college or a single phone call.  I know it's junk mail and I know that the telephone call was more than likely yet another solicitation for money but I feel a little hurt that I don't get mail or phone calls. It makes me feel like I didn't really exist or that I didn't go to the school or that no one really cares where I am or what happened to me.  I know none of that's true and I know I'm just being silly, but I'm kind of sensitive about being ignored and quite often can have my feelings easily hurt over tiny slights and sometimes by absolutely nothing at all.

You get lots of mail from Eugene Lang College. In fact, you got some yesterday. Ut's been years since you got a phone call - but you get mail on a regular basis. The only problem is that it all comes here. They love you - they just don't know you moved to Minnesota 15 years ago.

Now, I haven't received any mail from MY school for 35 years. I got a few pieces of mail from the alumni association back in the early 70s, then one day I got the alimni newsletter - my address, but the name was Betty Rabinowitz. After than I never got anything ever. SO, not only did they try to turn me into someone else, they totally forgot me.

Do you think it's maybe something genetic???

Perhaps it is, Betty.
