Actually, I just attended my 50th high school reunion last weekend - it’s only the 2nd one I’ve attended; the first one was just 5 years after graduation - just before I set out to parts unknown (not really). My graduating class was somewhere between 600-700 students, so there’s absolutely no way I could know everyone. Roughly 160 people attended, and that included spouses.

Over time, I had heard of 3 instances where people who attended high school reunions reconnected with someone for whom they left their marriage !! 2 of these folks are relatives of mine.

So, in self defense, I brought my hubby along ;-). I enjoyed reminiscing with a number of folks and my husband enjoyed the food.

Interestingly, there seemed to be more shared memories connected to the elementary and jr. High schools, as these were the people we knew the longest growing up in the same neighborhoods. We even had a group photo taken of all of us who attended the same elementary school!!

Sorry to make this any longer, but we were part of the”baby boom”. Our town had roughly 13 elementary schools, 2 junior high schools, and the one High School.
