I have been on another planet for the last week, getting ready for my 50th HS reunion and actually going to the reunion and having a wonderful time. I'm so glad my HS friends on f/b talked me into going. I was having stinkin thinkin toward the whole idea.
You know , the committee was made up of the Homecoming queen and her court and a bunch of other do gooders, you know the type. I was thinking , I'm too cool to go to this event.
As soon as you are there you are back in High School, still in rapture state since last Saturday.
Goes to show me that everyone left there ego's at the door and fun was the order of the evening. Even the queen kept her tiara at home. Didnt matter who you were in High School, we were the children of the 60's, class of change, party animal future hippies, some of us. Our class produced a CEO of Edison Co., A owner/manager of the clippers and nuggets and god knows how many other teams, An ace pilot from Annapolis, who flew 150 missions over viet Nam from a freight fighter ship, a woman who worked for Nasa, and I'm sure there are the ones still trying to find what they want to be when they grow up.
All sitting breaking bread together and fumbling to remember the words to our Alma Mater.
A wonderful memory to remember as long as we can still remember. You are connected to your childhood friends eternally, from this experience , I know that for sure.
Glad you went. We have our 50th in three years. I am not sure he is in good enough health to even go, but I hope I can. I love going to the reunions. I have only missed one. He was in a hospital and I admitted him that night. I was just too exhausted to go. This Saturday we are having a class of "66 mini reunion. We had one last year too. We are meeting at a buffet BBQ restaurant for lunch. Everybody buys their own meal and we chat and catch up. Last year people flew in from Washington, Florida, Oklahoma and one guy came in from Denmark. We had about 70 show last year for it. I enjoyed it and hope we can make it this time.
