Yes it is time for the class reunion again. I am actually going to attend this one instead of just sending a lifesized cut-out. I love it when one of them asks,"Do you know who I am?"
"Sure, you're the fellow who use to have hair and real teeth."
And the women are shameless, especially the former Mrs. Doctor so and so's. Seems like everyone of my female former classmates were recently divorced and in search of the next victim.
"Is that a real gold watch? Is that your Lexus? You know I always really liked you a lot in school."
"Yes, I could tell by the way you laughed and said "drop dead" when I asked you out once. By the way, have you met my wife? She's that gorgeous young lady over there wearing enough jewels to make a Hassidic chub."
There are some of the old crew that I look forward to seeing. We'll all get a table together and toss back a few drinks and laugh at the old folks on the dance floor. It'll be fun.

I went to my 10th reunion, and realized that if I hadn't talked to them in 10 years, there was probably a reason for it. It was entertaining to see people, and what they had become. The former star atheletes now trying to hustle clients for insurance, the cheerleaders who had tripled in size. The geeky girls who were now smoking hot 28 year olds.
When my 25th came around, I met with the people I wanted to see outside of the reunion. I might go to one in the future, just to see who is still alive [:)]

Mine have been nothing like that. The last one we shot some shotguns, had a bonfire, a keg of beer, a bottle of tequila. Course there were only 13 in the entire class and we were pretty close.
Hell show em your family jewell's you will be the hit of the party!!!![:p][:0]
Its all one upmanship and lies....
Everyone is very well off, own cars, land, boats etc...kids are doing great in school, you are well known and in demand, great job and are jet setting all over the world....
Its not about getting together with the "old crowd"...IF that were the case, then you would have stayed in touch after school...
CLass reunions are like a political convention...

Yuppers.....went to my tenth as a stand-in for another friend who could not go with a third friend, vowed I would never go back.
BMOC: "Hey, wow,... I don't remember you from our class....I'm sure I should..."
ME: "Oh yeah? I don't imagine you should since you spat at me in typing class everday of our sophmore year, but I remember you..."
Some things are not worth commemorating...
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.
It is HE77 being a dropout.
10th I missed, due to a friend's wedding.
15th I went to, kind of small, I actually had a good time. I think reality really started to set in.
20th - turns out we didn't have one.
I can't say I was thrilled with my high school class as a whole, but time heals all wounds and wounds all heels...
The one that always cracks me up in my class is this one guy who was the biggest pothead there was. I don't think he spent one day of high school un-stoned.
One day, smelling of Mendicino Gold and Doritos, he announced to our drafting class, while being booted, that he was gonna be a "BRAAAAAINN SURGEON SOMEDAY". The class, appreciating his humor, roared in laughter.
Last time I saw him he was a the chief resident of Neurosurgery at UCLA Medical Center.
priceless, he should speak out at some NORML conferences.
So I don't have much in common with the majority of my graduating class.
I'm not bitter or resentful, I just don't see high school as that important a part of my life.
Got to see some old friends and see who they married (and divorced) and some of the stuff mentioned above by others. One girl I liked and had a crush on was even prettier and married to a big shot that was an alcoholic.
My wife went to the same school and was a year younger and there were people from her class as well so we each went off our own ways to talk to past crushes.
We were one of the few that were still together from high school. Saw a guy who was one of my best friends in high school and was an attorney. I had only run into him once in my LE career because I left the Detroit area after about a year in LE. He kept paying the girl to serve us liquor after the party (officially) ended but she finally cut him off for good at 2am.
All in all, it was a fun time and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I got another chance a few weeks ago.
I went to a (catholic) grade school reunion a few weeks ago. It was for anyone who ever attended that school at any time. There were a couple of hundred people there but only two from my class. Both were ladies and it was nice to see them. Saw several other people from the neighborhood.
I even ran into an old neighbor who told me I was responsible for sending a guy to prison.
Here is the story.
I was coming home late one night (about 11:30 pm) about 30 years ago and saw some guy working under a Chevy Blazer that I knew to belong to this neighbor. This neighbor lived at the far corner of the next section of the street.
I stopped and talked to the guy that was under the truck. He pronounced by neighbors name in an unusual way and said he was just looking at his buddy's truck and said something about checking out a problem. Because he knew who the vehicle belonged to, I was suspicious but not alarmed. I got back in my vehicle and was still thinking about what to do and drove towards home.
In that area of Detroit, it would not be unusual to see someone working on a vehicle late at night but as I rounded the corner after seeing this, I noticed a vehicle parked in the alley. Now the alarm bells in my head went off, -big time!
I drove home and called the neighbor. He told me that nobody he knew was working on the vehicle and I should have just called the police. He went out and the guy was gone. I drove down there and found my neighbor looking under his car.
I told my neighbor and his older brother what the guy looked like and the unusual way the guy pronounced his name. He thought he knew who it might be because only knew one guy that pronounced his name that way. We figured that the guy may have been going to let the oil drain out of his vehicle to wreck the engine or something like that but that I had probably scared him off. He told me next time to just call the cops.
A cop stopped by a little later and asked me a few questions and for the description of the guy but never said anything else to me.
I never did talk to the neighbor again as I moved out of my parents house shortly after that and because the neighbor was older than I, we didn't socialize.
I didn't find out what happened until the reunion 30 years later. It seems that after inspecting the vehicle with the police, they found that the guy had placed an explosive device under the vehicle. (I'm not going to go into the how of it and give anyone any ideas.) The guy was someone the neighbor worked with and had been recently fired for theft and thought that my neighbor had ratted him out to the boss. My neighbor told me that because of the unusual way the guy pronounced his name, they were able to interview the guy and got a confession which ended up sending him to prison. All this time I never knew what happened. It was kind of interesting to learn all of this so much later.
That has been my experiences with reunions so far...
