45th Reunion

I went to my 45th class reunion last night and met up with a bunch of “old folks.” Had a great time catching up with them. Found it interesting to see faces but not be able to place a name to the face. Also found it sad to know some are no longer with us. This image was taken this morning on my way to the coffee shop. Loved the color so I had to pull over, take it all in and get a photo.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

      They have been a wonderful experience for me. I was one of those quiet kids in school and not very popular. After a few years those cliches fall away and more equality prevails. I highly recommend them.

    I only went to my 20th, miss the 30th, 40th will be in 2020 … so, 7 years to go. 🙂 Do you have any photos of the old folks? Did you remember some of them? At the 20th, it’s still pretty easy to remember the faces. Not sure about 30 and 40 though.

      I do hope you attend your 40th. Yes, I took a few snaps and they also had a photographer, a classmates son who has a photography business. Names and faces do fade as the years move on. Some were total strangers while others were quick to identify.

      My school years were not the best. There are some bad memories when picked on or teased. The years change our perspective and place us on a more level plain. My class reunions have been a good experience for me. Yet, they may not be for others.
