Well, with that in mind it may just be someone trying to just get a reply from out of the blue, the way I've attempted at times to e-mail high school classmates from out of the blue, or a couple acquaintences in Germany (or how I've been thinking about contacting the girls who were stuck with me in eastern Germany for a month in July/August 1992 for a language course). I think it's just the known events of the pass that made YOU nervous, and set off all of our "spidy senses" as well.
