skymama 37 #1 March 21, 2003 Well, for the first time in 20 years, (yes, I'm old, that's not the point here) my old high school was actually able to track me down and give me a notice for the reunion coming up this summer. I don't have any interest in going, but I was wondering how many people do go to these things. Did any of you go to a reunion and did you have fun?She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbunky 3 #4 March 21, 2003 my 20th was last 2001 (2002 actually, but because the school was so small they had a reunion for the whole decade of the 80's!). i was in town (it's about 100 miles from here) but was camping. didn't make it to any of the functions, didn't miss anything. half of the class never left town so i can see them whenever i go back to visit the folks, the other half hasn't been back since graduation. despite a few attempts by me to contact a couple of friends, nobody got back to me so screw'em! friends seemed so important in high school, but that fades, especially after 20 years. otoh, you could go back and show everyone you're still a hottie and laugh at all those that got fat!

Muenkel 0 #5 March 21, 2003 I was unable to attend my 20th last year as I was out of the country. However, I did receive an email from one of my friends who said I didn't miss much and that it was pretty lame. This doesn't mean your reunion wouldn't be fun. I guess it depends on what your High School experience was and who is planning to attend. Do you keep in touch with any of your HS friends?

NightJumper 0 #11 March 21, 2003 Quote (yes, I'm old, that's not the point here) Actually that is the point, hence the 20 year reunion. Went to mine and had a blast. We did a cruse ship thing on Friday, beach party on Saturday and woke up somewhere on Sunday. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Besides Andrea I'm sure you would be the reason that they would want to have the reunion in the first place. Being the cool skidiver chick!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QTPi 0 #12 March 21, 2003 I went to my ten year reunion and had a blast! I hadn't seen some of those people since graduation. I didn't even recognize some of the people I was friends with in HS! Some of them were fat, or bald, and some of them looked really old. I remember thinking, "They couldn't have graduated with me, they're old!" It was a hoot!

2fat2fly 0 #14 March 21, 2003 I don't think there's a solid answer for this. I skipped my 10th-plan on skipping my 20th in a couple of years. But, I still live in the same area as do a lot of my classmates. We make no effort to get together now, I don't see any reason to put an event together to do that. That....and there's a lot of stories and recollections that my wife has no business hearing I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #15 March 21, 2003 I was in on the planning for my 20th reunion last year. I enjoyed most of it so I'm glad I went. There is always going to be someone who wants to gripe about what is done but of course it is the people who don't do anything that fuss. I did pull out the I'm a skydiver pictures and I did really enjoy seeing those who had gotten fat or grey. I even went and bout a really sexy dress just to show some of those "high school hotties" who are now old fat women. I say go and strut your stuff. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #16 March 21, 2003 I went to my 30th a few years ago. Yes, I am an old fart. I jumped into it and then drank beer with old friends. Very fun. We had a small class, and most of us were orangutangs in high school, so I enjoyed seeing most of them again. A lot of reunions involve people trying to impress each other with how successful they are. By jumping in I let them all know, I'm still nuts....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seedy 0 #17 March 21, 2003 Quote Did any of you go to a reunion and did you have fun? I went to my 20th and also the 30th. I had fun at both, seeing people I hadn't seen in all that time (most of us don't live in that small town anymore). Whether or not you have fun is up to you - I had fun because of the expectations I carried with me. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #18 March 21, 2003 QuoteWell, for the first time in 20 years, (yes, I'm old, that's not the point here) my old high school was actually able to track me down and give me a notice for the reunion coming up this summer. Andrea, not counting the one thing that put a damper on my fun, I had an absolute blast at my 20 year reunion. As we did not have a ten year reunion, this truly was the first time that I had seen the great majority of these people. Of the 73 people in my graduating class, at least 50 were in attendance; awesome. Anyway, what surprised me was that at least two classmates who live IN TOWN still were not there. They were ashamed of their looks, which made me sad; both are great friends that I regularly see on my annual trips back home. Go to the reunion. You will have guys absolutely pining away after you.

CanuckInUSA 0 #19 March 21, 2003 My 25th is only three years away. My email addy is on the school's alumni page (and the parental units still live in the same house when I attended the school), so one would hope that they could get in touch with me.

skymama 37 #20 March 21, 2003 QuoteOf the 73 people in my graduating class, at least 50 were in attendance; Wow, so that's what it's like living in a small town, huh? There were about 650 in my graduating class in Sarasota I think. While it would be fun to play the skydiver and hopefully get told I look better now than I did in high school, I don't think I'll go. When I was there, I always hung out with the swimmers because we spent 4 hours a day together and many weekends a month at meets. So, the only draw for me would be if there is going to be a lot of swimmers there and there's no telling if there will be.

flyangel2 2 #23 March 21, 2003 I missed my ten year reunion due to being so close to my due date of my first born. I did attend my 20th Class Reunion and had a great time. When I attend High School, I was a little on the "plump" side, and have since slimmed down. Not many people knew who I was. At the time I attended the reunion, I was also working at a DZ as an office manager. That sure raised a lot of eyebrows. They handed out awards for "Most Changed" and "Most Interesting Job". Needless to say I won both. Going to the reunion also allowed me to open up some paths to lost friendships. I'm still in contact with some of them. Because of being in touch with them, a handful of them came out to Perris and watched JFTC last year. Then we all went out to dinner. It was a good time. Go to the reunion, if you're not having a good time, leave.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I do look younger (late 20s and/or early 30s) than I really am. And being single and doing things like skydiving makes me live the lifestyle of someone in their 20s.
