I have never posted on here before, but in light of the upcoming reunion, I would like to add my two cents. First of all, a big THANK YOU to all of you who are making this happen! You are giving much of your time, talent, and commitment, in eager anticipation of that fat paycheck: oh, that's right, it's $0.00. You might be behind the scenes, but we really appreciate your hard work.
And to any whiners/ complainers out there: I personally don't come to the reunions to be entertained. I could care less about the venue, or whether we eat steak or hot dogs. Just give me a chair, a bathroom, and if it's outside, some bug spray. Reunions to me are about the people. I intend to have lots of laughs (mostly at my own expense- yeah, I was an idiot in high school) catch up with old friends, share grandkid pictures, and commiserate about the absurdity we called "high school".
I'm sure we'll have some somber moments too, as we reflect on our classmates gone too soon. But reunions are meant to be a celebration, if for no other reason than we made it this far relatively intact! I have a special place in my heart for my old classmates, and I can't wait to see you all at the reunion! So get off your old fat duffs, and hobble over to your calendars and mark the date..
