[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 86725, member: 3485"] I disliked high school. I had only one or two close friends, and was socially pretty much an outcast. I have had zero interest in and have not been to any reunions, although I did put my vital stats (marital status, # of kids, occupation) up on the website for the 30th reunion this year (class of 77). I did not even recognize most of the names. My dad, on the other hand, attends his reunions frequently (class of 54). There is a group of a dozen or so, plus spouses/SO's, who get together for a travel event every couple of years. They've done a cruise to Alaska and had VIP seats for a NASA launch (one of the classmates is an aerospace company exec. now). One of the guys in my dad's group has been divorced twice, his third wife is much younger but has become close with these people -- well, at a recent reunion they left an empty chair and poured a glass of wine for a member who'd passed away earlier that year -- and the younger woman remarked that they would have to abandon that tradition, or eventually she'd find herself seated alone at a table with 23 empty chairs and glasses of wine. I've just recently restablished contact with several friends from my freshman year at college. Now those people I would love to have a reunion with. I came out of my shell at college and the experience was 180 degrees the opposite of HS. I'd also love to see my friends from 5th through 8th grade again. I was at a Dept. of Defense overseas school those years. Trade emails now and then with one or two of them. [/QUOTE]
