Lisa and Andrea, both 64, met in New Jersey 40 years ago. Despite living on different continents, they’ve been friends ever since
or Lisa, the 1980s were an incredibly fun decade. Living in Brooklyn and working as a financial headhunter, she moved into an apartment building with lots of other people her age. “There were 25 apartments in total and a rooftop where we’d go for parties,” she says. “It was like living in the cast of Friends. Everyone knew each other and we were always in and out of each other’s homes.”
After spending the week together, they went to a party in Lisa’s building. “That’s where I was introduced to Fred, who later became my husband,” says Andrea. In 1987, Lisa started working in human resources at a bank and got married. “Andrea was maid of honour at the wedding in Mississippi,” says Lisa. Although the relationship didn’t work out, Andrea supported her throughout.
Despite the distance, Lisa and Andrea have always maintained a close friendship and, when Andrea turned 40, she came to London to celebrate. “We acted as if we were in our 20s. We had a party and a spa day; it was an amazing long weekend,” she says.
