Help finding an old friend - previously at Caltech
Hi all
Mods/admin - please delete if this isn’t suitable for this sub!
I’m from the UK and back in the days of msn messenger, one of my best friends was a guy at Caltech.
Unfortunately I made a boo-boo and he ghosted me. 20 years later, I still think about him and would LOVE to try to find him and get back in touch, if he even wants to reconnect.
Details I know about him: Viet Ngo, Born in the 80s. Had a cousin called Nam. Was an EMT while at Caltech. Moved to MIT. He wanted to cure cancer. He might have also been wary of giving his info out so some of these memories might not be true.
He initially knew me as Courtney Watson, the name I gave him to try and protect my identity (being an internet savvy teen in the early 2000s, I didn’t want creeps doxxing me). When I fessed up and told him my real name, that’s when he ghosted me, which is totally understandable. I tried emailing him a few times after he disappeared and unfortunately no longer have access to that email address and can’t remember his email address anymore.
This isn’t a missed connection, we never had a relationship more than a friendship, and I’m happily married with kids now, but would love to find out what happened to him and try to reach out now we’re a bit older and wiser 🤞🏻
If anyone knows of any way I might be able to get in touch, please let me know!
Thanks!
