The first one was my 25 year reunion and I happened to be on leave from the AF while between assignments in Germany and England. I wasn't a standout student nor one of the popular student. I did meet some of the kids I hung out with and we got caught up with what we've been doing.

The second reunion was for the 50 year reunion and I still recognized a number of people. It was interesting learning what they've done and where they've been in their lives.

Reunions can be good or bad depending upon how you viewed high school.The sad part of reunions is see a the display of those who have passed away.

One thing I did notice was the people in the cliques at the reunions were the same ones in high school.

Where I live, we have some classes that hold reunions and there is an All-class reunion during the 4th of July where graduates from any year can attend. I doubt I'll attend any more reunions.
