I know that feeling. My dad was in the Air Force we changed houses constantly and lived in many different states. Between 1st and 12th grade I went to 11 different schools. Every year I head "class this is the new kid, Glen" from the teacher. Only 11th and 12 grade was at the same school, and I was the new kid for two years. Most of my classmates went to school with each other all their lives. I got my first job while in 11th grade, so right after school I went to work and earned money instead of being with friends. I graduated in Montgomery, Alabama and that is 850 miles from here. I don't know anyone at all from school days. I moved to a new city and did not know anyone except co-workers and they were all married with their own lives and I was the only single guy at the job. Always being the new guy I learned to make friends fast and not be shy.
I got involved with the local Porsche Club and have been active in the club for over 40 years. I have many friends now.
