SAGiles-writing about life!

This last weekend was the 40 year reunion for my husband and myself for our high school.  We graduated from a class of 763 students.  And yes! you can go home and still know people, and have so much fun!!!  We did anyway!!  A number of our old friends have remained friends for all of these years, so that was easy,  but many who were friends had drifted to other areas, have lived great lives and yet, as we did, found their way home for a three day reunion.  

Some people, I never did recognize--even with name tags it was almost impossible to know who they were, or even to remember later.  Several, had not changed, and I mean that.  One of our cheerleaders for our senior year, still looked at though she was 17.  Most of the men had the most dramatic change, and yet there again, several looked as though they belonged still at the high school.  Several had been in law enforcement--as in the ATF and DEA.  One in the IRS as an investigator for the treasury department--hope you all have paid your taxes!  One who started a business in his garage and is now a multi-millionaire--(not Bill Gates).  If you have heard of Kickbox Boom Boxes, well he is married to the gal who looks 17.

We have all lived life to the fullest for 40 years, and hope to do so for many more.  The 50th reunion is already in the planning stages! 

But then, on the down side.  We have already lost over 50 of our classmates.  Too many on the deceased list for there to be total joy!

Our hometown has changed, just as we don't look the same, neither does it! 

But all in all!  We really had a great time!
