Geoff and Celesta were given each other's names and addresses as part of a school pen pal program back in 1938.They're both now 100 years old, and a lot has changed in the past years: their age changed；their appearance changed; but one thing has not — they still use the traditional way to contact. “I honestly struggle to remember something, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school's scheme，” Geoff said. “They matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we've just kept corresponding (通信) ever since.” Geoff and Celesta's relationship never turned romantic, but they shared a lot over the decades.They kept up their correspondence through World War Ⅱ， sending updates about their families, friends, and work.In 2002, they finally got a chance to meet in person during a trip to New York City.Two years later, they met up again, but ever since then they've gone back to pen and paper. Recently, they've switched to digital forms of communication to stay in touch.Their children have helped them set up email accounts.“I know some online chatrooms, I think, now to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people.Deep down, I refuse to use them.Writing to Celesta has been a source of great satisfaction for me over the years，” said Geoff.
