Don't force contact; make sure you are easily reachable

I wondered if he sent him some of his cds whether that might be something which prompted them to be intrigued.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
So far I like the idea of writing occasional letters about what is going on best. That works for me because it leaves the option of response open but does not demand one. Also, if I were Barclay, I'd make sure they could find me. Does he have a listed phone number? If he googles himself, does it lead to current contact information?
Here divorce records are public. The kids can look them up if that's what they're interested in. The oldest one, the one he's contacting, no doubt remembers quite a bit anyway.
If I were the kid, I think I'd be wondering why now, after all these years. I don't know what the answer is, but if I were Barclay, I'd want to be clear on that. BS on that would make me cut him off at the knees.
Incidentally, is he prepared to be a grandfather?
