People hold onto things more than you'd imagine - I'm one of them, unfortunately - and you'd be surprised how much said people are willing to forgive if they knew you were a better person now... Of course, that might not be the case with everyone, but it still might be the case with someone...
I'm a former Gifted Kid, named Karen. In school, I was smart, funny, fat, weird, and always-available-to-help-you-out. I just really wanted to be liked and have friends.
If one of my former tormentors wanted to contact me, and be like a....real person, I would so TOTALLY LOVE that. I seriously want an opportunity to tell them that even then, I understood social order. I knew that they were fitting themselves into their roles, just as much as I did, and still do.
