Holy Cow!!! 55th high school reunion

[jeffrefrig]

I think my 50th is this year. They only communicate through Facebook. I don't do Facebook anymore; too stupid for my taste. That's the only way they know how to communicate. I will probably never go to another one. I went to 15th in 1990, and 25th in 2000. That was enough. All the good dudes I hung with are mostly dead or are in 12-step programs, meaning they can only walk 12 steps without coughing up a lung! It's only less than an hour drive over in Beaver County but Wife would have to drive us home.
Glad you had a good time, OP.

You people are OLD. My 55th was a few weeks ago! My 54th wedding anniversary is in a few weeks. To my knowledge, my class of about 30 people, did not celebrate. The WPA school that I went to burned, the small town withered away, all of the people went somewhere else to make a living and very few of us stayed or came back. I did come back, sort of, for the past 30 years I have been living near where I grew up. Only old people truly understand "change" and that nothing is permanent, except love. As I walk around my place, I find my self wondering what it will look like in 50 years, the only thing certain is that it will be different and nothing currently standing will be around. The only mark that I will have left is the Live Oak tree that I planted and is now doing very well, and some butthead may cut it down too!

Our 50th is coming up next year, the bicentennial class. I was home on leave for our 10th and none of the guys I hung out with in school attended. So had dinner listened to all the speeches and went home. The 25th was pretty much the same but they held it at some fancy resort so only the country club folks could afford to stay there for the full weekend.

No details yet for the 50th but I anticipate pretty much the same and the old gang will not be attending.

We had our 55th reunion last fall. When you look at someone and realize how much they have changed - or aged - you should realize when they look at you, they are probably thinking the same thing.

Back in 69 I recall filling my clunker 65 Mustang for around $6. probably .30 cents a gallon. Smokin Marlboro's for around .35 cents a pack! Man can't believe more than a century has passed! Found after school work and bought my first 10/22 Ruger. Slightly used for $45. Only thing I got left from those days is that Puma Skinner knife made in 66 according to Nos. on hilt or guard. Believe it cost me around $27 with tax!!

Changes are very sobering. Know I look different but some of us have not changed that much. The “ beached whales” girls are just about impossible to believe. I always remember them in 1970. Several things I learned can not discuss as just to sad……
