Thread Name: Advice: High School Reunions. Worth it?
Subject: RE: Advice: High School Reunions. Worth it?
If you live long enough, your class will probably quit having them.

Seriously, I've gone to a couple, and had a good time at the ones I've attended. With an original class of 350, there were lots of people I never did know, lots and lots of people who've turned into their parents (or grandparents) and were barely recognizable, and a few that you know instantly. I got better acquainted with a couple at my 30th(?) than I had ever been when at school.

On the other hand, I wouldn't feel bad if something "more important" prevents being there, even for one of the "decade" (or centenial? fairly soon) reunions.

My other half, however, is related to at least half her graduating class, so she sees them all at least occasionally. And she can call the other 4 or 5 anytime - if they don't show up at "Gene's" (see recent Texas thread).

Her school was/is so small that they don't have individual class reunions - just one big everybody come thing. Sort of like a community picnic, usually. Not a big deal.
