I participated in a planning meeting last week for my upcoming class reunion next month. This is a big one.
Three decades.
Wow, where'd the time go?
Actually, our planning group (four of us), was only ten shy of a full [surviving] class reunion, since there are fourteen remaining. I guess you could say it was a small class. The wife of one of the out-of-town alums was reported to have remarked to him that "so many of your classmates are either dead or gay."
I guess that's sort of true. We started with 16, over the years learned that two are gay, and have lost two to tragic circumstances.
Anyway, we came up with a theme, a sort of menu, and drink list. With a group our size, it's easy to have whole families attend. Most of us started families late, so I don't think any of us has kids who've graduated college, but many of us have high-schoolers and grade schoolers. None in diapers, as far as I know.
Should be fun, even if there isn't any element of "Hey, do you remember me?"

30 years! Wow! What's the theme? McGyver? Wheel of Fortune? The Nature Channel? Is it true that the drink list includes a Geritol cocktail called the "Screaming Depends"? Seriously, I hope you and the other gay guy have a good time.
I have my 30th year reunion next month. Can not wait to see who, what and where ! And like you I think my class had like less than 20 people. Small town USA.
I am going to tell them that I spent my life as a child trying to get away from "Small Town USA" and then I spent my adult life trying desperately to get back to "Small Town USA".
Life was NEVER so easy when I had so little. Looking forward to hearing how it goes.
you'll have to let us know how it goes. My 30-yr will be next summer (2010), looking forward to it!
Debating on going to my 30. I've only seen a handful of the old classmates since graduating. Went to my 10, had a hotel room at the place where we were having it at and still managed to show up as it was ending. Walked in and everyone said that I was still the same. Guess they're were right - skipped most of senior year. 1ish you fun at it and have a good Memorial day weekend.
