Class Reunion Is Hisotry

Saturday I had my 45th class reunion.  I absolutely dreaded having to go but I had promised an old friend that I'd be there and that we'd be roomies for the night at the attached motel, so I had to force myself.  I was pleasantly surprised.  I had a great time!  Everyone was so friendly and there was none of the old cliqueiness that use to be present.  I guess that just like a fine wine, we're all mellowing with age.  We all had such a good time that everyone is looking forward to the 50th in 5 years.  In fact, there is so much enthusiam that we are tentatively planning a 65th birthday party for the summer of 2010.  Most of us will be turning 65 during that year. 


We have had a reunion every five years since we graduated.  This time we had 31 of 59 classmates in attendance.  Three are now deceased, so that means we had 31 of a possible 56 present.  I think that was a pretty good turnout.  We didn't loose any classmates until 1997, at which time  we had been out of school for 34 years.  The second was in 2004 and the third was in 2007.  We probably will be loosing another one this year as one person is suffering from an inoperable brain tumor.  That is hard for us to handle because in a class of this size we all know each other very well.


As I look back at my weekend, I see that it was a very good one.
