Reunions?

[shootingstar]

Indy, you answered your own questions --you've moved way beyond those high school years and have found your niche.

I went to my high school reunion just 2 years after I graduated. So it wasn't super fascinating experience back then. I went primarily because it was 125th birthday for the high school. It is a high school that is of historic significance to the county and regional history. And I was the yearbook editor that discovered....the age of our school and made it a theme for the yrbk. with archival photos from 1920's, 1930's, 1950's. It was fun doing research (by myself) up in the attic of high school.

to continue since I had to return to my work...by interupting myself.

I went to lst reunion ..more because I felt I had some involvement it bringing to the attention of others about the age of our school.

Then fast forward 25 yrs. later just a few years ago, there was a mega-reunion since school celebrated its 150th birthday. Brought together 3,000 people over 1 weekend. THere was even a website set up for it for registration, photo-sharing. I didn't go..and didn't want to. Heard about it through 1 friend, the only person I've maintained contact since high school. At least she showed me photos of what our classmates looked like now.. That part was interesting.

Don't consider my childhood nor teenagehood with great fun. Would say the last 15 years of my life so far, much better and more fun. I feel less inhibited now than I did back then. Back then, it was bottled up energy, simmering dreams and trying hard to conform to expectations of others just to get to next stage of life.

So no reunion is no loss. Most likely other classmates didn't expect that I would end up in Vancouver, cycling, etc.
