REM and missing my friend

From about fifth grade through early college, my best friend was Amy deN. She introduced me to so much of what was hip and cool in the 80s. I resisted REM so much, until the summer before we both headed for UT and she got me listening to "Don't go back to Rockville" and I got it, finally. We saw them play with Fetchin' Bones at the now-long-gone City Colliseum before our freshman year began, and it shaped so much of my college years... Anyway, M downloaded a bunch of old REM for me, so I'm reminiscing. (REMiniscing) Amy and I have lost touch. I tried Googling her and nothing comes up. She's not on Classmates. I miss her a lot, despite the way we drifted apart in later college and early adulthood. I miss my friend. I wish her well.
