I object. Gilraen was right there in Rivendell when Aragorn met Arwen for the first time, when Aragorn was 20. After that, Aragorn goes of Rangering, so Gilraen returns to the Dunedain and lives with them.
Another point to add to the Aragorn backstory: By the time of the War of the Ring, he didn't like being a Ranger anymore. He fulfills the task dutifully, but I always get the impression that he doesn't like being "Strider," because he always refers to himself in the third person when he's being Strider, and (although he's generally a patient man) as Strider, he gets very brief with the innkeeper Butterbur.
