Dear Abby: I received a Facebook invitation to my 35th high school reunion. I was bullied constantly in every grade. I had no friends in my class, and the memories I have are not pleasant.

In the letter, I called out by name several former classmates with specifics on their bullying and cruel treatment. I told those who were the “nice kids” I felt invisible and like a nonentity. I ended the letter saying that I have a good life, and as an adult one would think the past would be the past. But that invitation triggered all the rejection and pain, which had lasted for years. I wrote that if any of them are parents, I hope they taught their kids and grandkids to do better.

Dr. Luellyn (Lewellyn) Dean
One of the challenges frequently faced by family historians is tracing the lives of their most transient ancestors. Relatives moved in between censuses, traveled far and wide, and sometimes died in other states. Such was the case of Dr. Dean, who not only moved frequently, but dabbled in other professions.
