"How long ago were you and Hank friends Harry?" Agent Cooper

To know someone in the past tense is somehow in my mind incomplete philosophically. In life we know each other to certain degrees of closeness and for certain lenghts of time. When we say we no longer know someone it largely means we haven't spoken to that person for a certain length of time and to the best of our understanding we have no good clue as to whether they're dead or alive. However, when we know someone in past tense our understanding of that person can't really be - that we have become ignorant of knowing them. Our understanding of that person fails to be a condition of ignorance and we actually have present knowlege of the person, because we do in fact know that person. What really is the case of knowing someone in the past tense is that - we are no longer in contact with a person we know. Thus, to no longer know someone is to know a person in the past tense. Also, to know someone in the past can not be the same as having ignorance of a person. Then it's fair to conclude that when we no longer know a person we still know that person, but we're only being short of having remained in contact with that person.

Does this person live in a costal state (to the best of our knowlege of this person), or do they live in a land locked state?
