do you get mail from companies that digitalized your old high school yearbook?

I threw out my old yearbooks from my high school in Dallas years ago FINALLY. It was the late 50's. Now I'm getting promos from a company that has digitalized the thing and they want me to buy it! How the hell did they get my email address since my name has changed (my second name change since I divorced my first husband)?

I really, really wanted to be a cheerleader and never made it and that heartbreak was revisited seeing those photos.

“Dear ret5hd

We have received numerous requests to remove mention of you in our yearbooks. Most say they don’t remember you and the others state “he is too obnoxious to be acknowledged”.

Would you object if your picture were replaced with someone more likable? In past circumstances such as these. we have licensed the images of Brad Pitt, Julia Robert’s, et al.

Thank you for your time,
xxxx.xxx
