I had decided when I realized that my high school reunion was in September rather than the usual August that I would be going by myself, that is if I was going at all. Whether or not I was going to attend was still up in the air on the Thursday before the reunion. It was a short visit to NJ, did I really want to take time out of visiting with grandkids, family and friends to see people that I hadn't seen since the last reunion? In the end I decided to go. I couldn't even use the excuse I didn't have a ride, one of my classmates picked me up!!!!
It was fun and great to see so many old friends. Everyone talked of retirement and grandkids which only 10 years earlier wasn't even thought about. Many, like me, traveled a long distance. We had classmates come from Hawaii, Oregon, Colorado, Vermont, Florida and Maryland.
We had a graduating class of about 168 considering it is 40 years later the attendance for the evening was pretty good. Someone said that there were about 75 attending, that is pretty amazing.
The evening was fun, informal and I'm so glad I went.
