Have you ever made a friend with, or fallen in
love with, someone you met online?
Back in 1986, I worked at United Bank in Libby. I was the night processer. I ran all the nightly reports and sorted all
the checks. Once a month, I also put the
checks in envelopes to send to the owners. I loved this job. During the evening, I always chatted on the
computer with a guy from Columbia Falls who did my same job there. We discussed problems we had during the night.
Over the months, we got to know each
other really well. He was married with a
couple of kids. When the computers went
offline, we called one another. Both of
us appreciated the uniqueness in our friendship. This was in the day when no one talked over
computer. He was my first friend made
through the computer. And I never met
him in person nor had a clue what he looked like in real life.
