Stay in touch email with old boss

I left my job 9 months ago to stay at home with my daughter.  I had a great relationship with my boss, but he lives in a different city then me.  He does travel to my city maybe 1 - 2x per year, and that is usually when we do our in-person meetings.  I would like to stay in touch with him and think email might be easier.  We traded voicemails several months ago, but were never able to connect due to his travels.  I am not looking for a job right now, but might be in 2 - 3 years, so I want to stay in touch with him.    Any good examples of an email I could send to say hi and I'd like to meet up next time he is in town?

Re: Stay in touch email with old boss

  • I'd think just a friendly e-mail would do the trick.

    How do you arrange meetups now?

  • I would probably do a social kind of email "how are the kids?  Here's a new pic of child.  I saw x news article about company in the paper and it's great to hear blah blah blah.  keep in touch!"

  • I keep in touch with my old boss. She is retired, but was my boss for quite some time and will be one of my main references. We were close professionally as well as personally in some ways, so we talk office stuff from time to time and home life.

     

  • If I'm reconnecting with someone I haven't seen in a while usually it's something like, 'Hi Friend, I'm sorry I missed your call the other day (or missed your visit when you were in town last week or whatever the occasion was that caused you to miss connecting). Things have been busy with the kid (or whatever is keeping you busy). Please let me know when you're in town next time and hopefully we can meet up for lunch or post-work drinks. With (insert your activities) it's probably best to reach me via e-mail/text/facebook/phone."

    That's basically the gist of it. It also depends on how close the two of you were. I tend to be very choosy on who I maintain post-work relationships with and that also guides how I write it (meaning how casually I want to word it or not).
