Well, I met mine after college ... right after, I will admit, but it was through the SCA.
Washington is the kind of place where people come on TDY, so there were always a few kids missing and a few new kids there at the start of the school year. And because I was a bit of an oddball, I tended to indentify with the short-term kids because they felt out of place, too ... . And in the case of my jr. high friend Nancy, her parents were devout Quakers who always intended her to go to prestigious Sidwell Friends for high school ... and it was a 4-yr high school, too, so she didn't even finish jr. high with me ... :-(
