I attended the 25 reunion and it was awful. I enjoyed the 50th. The numbers were much smaller and I managed to have contact with my high school sweetheart. We have now kept in touch occasionally after not having a clue where we were for the previous 50 years. At our age now, it is just a nice flashback to youth.
There is an opioid called dilaudid used in hospitals to treat intense pain. It’s heavily addictive and I’ve seen one side effect - one can lose their mind with scary behavior.
Yea, I was kind of coerced to go to the 50th. I wasn't really interested but when a couple of close friends kept asking me to go I decided to make the 2000 mile round trip drive to Vermont. I hadn't visited old friends and relatives for a few years so it all fit in. I was very glad I went. All of us were older than dirt and in different stages of senility. Another one also went up from NC that was dealing with terminal cancer and stayed alive long enough to go to the reunion. Sadly, she passed just two months after. Her son told us how hard she fought to make the trip and see old friends for the last time. We knew she didn't look well, but didn't find out how sick she was until after. Overall it was far more pleasant then the twenty fifth which just seemed to be one continuous attempt to outdo each other.
Reminds me of a recent fraternity reunion ( which I could not attend ) where some of my brothers and me have not seen each other in 20-30 years since some of us live in different parts of the country. Life is too short, treasure the moments , one of them passed in the hospital 3 months later in the ICU at 51 years old.
Me either -- no interest in those school reunions.
I never did any reunions.
Who am I looking at?
There was no high school reunions for the class I was in. I don't think the class was organized enough and I am sure a lot of us lost contact decades ago.
