Good for you Matt...
similar thing happened to me -- someone from college got my email from an alumni directory and wanted to know what was up and cold we "patch things up" (after he drained my bank account for "nose candy")....
It took me a while to answer, but I did and feel pretty good about it -- even when things are "bad", there are always good times and memories...
Hope it works out however you want it to...
