Looking for a long-lost friend, graduate of U. of Oklahoma

[thomas144]

I have been searching for an old friend of mine who graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1976.

We were classmates and close friends at Wayne State University's Junior Year in Munich program in 1974-75. I have not heard from him since the mid-seventies and fear that he no longer among the living...

I live in Massachusetts and have never been to Oklahoma. I was wondering if someone with access to a directory of University of Oklahoma alumni could tell me there is an address in it for Thomas Diggs '76.

thanks in advance!

I'll bump this to keep it alive, but I have no connections that would be of use...

I was born in '76. Does that help?

[OUDoc]

Only if you were born at OU's commencement.

Were you?

[C&CDean]

No, but he was conceived there.

[Collier11]

Have you tried Facebook and Myspace...seriously?

[C&CDean]

Dude, most of us older, responsible, normal folk don't do that whole facebook/myspace dealio. I think.

[NormanPride]

My aunt and uncle in law love teh facebook.


But they're hippies, so there's that.

I think something like 200 million folk do Facebook, and I would count as one of the responsible and normal ones so go put your nose in the corner

[thomas144]

Thanks for the suggestions. I am extremely active on Facebook and I'm something of an early adopter with respect the internet, in general. I found someone in Oklahoma City by the name of Thomas Diggs about 10 years ago but it's not the same guy. Most universities have alumni directories (nowadays often online but generally password-protected). If I were anywhere near the university I would stop by the library and do the research there.

[yermom]

have you tried the Alumni Directory?

http://www.ou.edu/alumni/home/alumni_directory.html

i don't think they can/will give you his address if you call, but if he's registered in the directory, you should be able to see his info

[Collier11]

you might give the University a call

Here is the website for the OU alumni

http://www.ou.edu/alumni/home.html

this looks promising. I think he might be Thomas M. Diggs in Nichols Hills. The age is right.

I can't access that Database without pretending (at least) to be an Alum (I mean, I suppose I could try to fake it and get an account, but really... :-) ).

I was hoping some Alum (who might very well be a Sooners fan) could access that listing and at least tell me if he's still alive. :-)

[yermom]

oh, i guess i assumed you were an alum

sadly, i'm not a true fan and never actually graduated from OU either

[Collier11]

Ill see if I can get on there if it doesnt take too long as im fixing to head to the Thunder game

[Collier11]

I found this, not much help but he is on there

[yermom]

that just looks like he's in the system from records, but never logged in

[Collier11]

yea my login isnt working and I have to email them to get it fixed and didnt want to mess with it so I just did a general search to see if he is in there

[OUDoc]

You'd better not be a stalker. :)

I'll PM you his address listed on there.

[A Sooner in Texas]

I found three all born in 1954, which would be about the right age. One's birthday is May 11, one is May 5, one is April 30. Two in Texas - Dallas and Houston - and one in Cleveland, Ohio. If you remember his birthday and think one of those might be him, PM me and I'll send you the address.
And you better by god not be a hitman.

[OUinFLA]

And you better by god not be a hitman.


And if he is??? you gonna threaten him?

[StoopTroup]

Doubting Thomases.....:D

[olevetonahill]

You fockers ever Give me up . Im gonna go all ape shat and stuff on ya !

Arseholes that need to get in touch with me Can figure it out they ownselves :eek:

[OUinFLA]

quit ya worry, no one is lookin for you.

:D

[OUDoc]

Anyone know where olevet lives?
I'm looking for him.



I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be hard to find anyway. :D

[Collier11]

He lives on a Hill, duh!

[A Sooner in Texas]

And if he is??? you gonna threaten him?

No, I'll just put my makeup on him and loan him a pair of my high heels and make him go out in public like that, big man. :rolleyes:

[StoopTroup]

It's not really a hill...it's really more of a place where natty cans go to die.

[thomas144]

I realized from the beginning that I could be a bill collector or mafia hit man or something looking for someone in the witness protection program, so actually all I was hoping for was confirmation that he is not listed as "deceased" in the alumni records.

In any case, I think I've got an address I can send a Christmas card to.

The amazing thing to me is that this thread already shows up in Google if I search for "Tom Diggs Nichols Hills" - maybe some day he will google himself and see that I am looking for him!

[OUinFLA]

A Christmas Card ! Is that all?
Why didn't you just say so in the first place.



uh..... you're not the unibomber are you?
