I was riding the subway heading to XXX on a Friday morning, running an errand. I sat on a bench reading that day's newspaper, which I purchased on the way to the subway station, when I felt a light tab on my shoulder. It was John Doe, my high school classmate. I hadn't seen him since an informal meeting about ten years ago (Should it be "about ten years before"?). I instantly recognized him, despites many wrinkles on his face. I then asked him to sit next to me and spent next an hour or so talking about what we had been doing since the last meeting. He gave me his phone and got off the subway before me after having reminded me to call him back soon.
