In reply to the discussion: An Almost Baby Boomer 50th HS Reunion [View all]xxqqqzme
(14,887 posts)54. I went to my
45th 2 years ago. My parents moved acros the country at the beginning of my junior year. So there were people, some I had known since kindergarten, I had not seen since 1965. I'm glad I went. Glad I reconnected (also through facebook). Too many lost to Vietnam though.
One of the stand out moments for me was an old classmate approachng our table and announcing 'Well, I see all the liberals found each other." We all looked @ each other & started laughing. Being in southern Indiana, we had been politely avoiding talking politics. The conversation changed immediately!
Looking forward to your report.
