Do you go back to attend any reunions when you get a chance?

My wife and I graduated from the same high school and same class and we've been to all of the reunions our class has had every 5 years except for year 5 when I was in the military. We didn't go to the same college, though, and I like to go to my college's homecoming weekend which is like a reunion. It's a small, private college where we established some close relationships. Good to see them again while we can.

Went to all of my HS reunions but none of my college ones. Will be going to 50th this year.

The lives those faces have lived are told there including the joys, heartaches, hopes, dashed dreams, loss, accomplishments, pain, humor and so forth. Graduated in 1966, have seen and enjoyed much and my stories are many. Looks fade but I had my days in the good times, it’s time for the younger generation to enjoy their prime. When I look in the mirror now, I’m satisfied with who I am and not how I look.

I have probably gone to three class reunions and they were okay but looking backward isn’t real important to me.

Well said and good perspective about living in the past. A person has to move on and not live in the past. That said, I do enjoy H.S. class reunions and how they usually surprise you about how some people really change after H.S. “You can’t stay young forever but you can be immature for the rest of your life”.

I have changed 360 from that geeky, skinny kid and been told I have aged well. This group was old, fat, and acting the same way as high school. I slipped out and wished I never went. When the 50th arrived I was moving to TV, so thankfully I had to miss it. YAY!!

It's best to do a 180. A 360 puts you back where you started.

As a matter of fact I am in Miami FL right now and got together with most of my classmates. Graduated in ‘66 from an all boys school. A class of 26 boys. We had a great time during a three hour lunch with promises of more of these.

High School in NYC, absolutely. Incredibly, many of my graduating classmates are still with us. Many of us still keep in touch on our private FB page. We are all getting ready for our 50th HS reunion in a few weeks. There are also several guys and gals I keep in touch with that I have known since we were kids in grade school together, still alive and kicking. College, not so much. Just some of my old frat brothers.

Went back to Pittsburgh in 2019 for my 50th high school reunion. Was a great time.

I've never attended any of mine. I've actually attended several of my wife's school reunions. Always fun to let a few of her old class mates guess who I am and play along!

Yes back in 2019 I was fortunate enough to go to my high school 50th reunion and it was fantastic! Reconnected with a few friends, made some new ones too & spoke to some I’d never interacted with in HS. Even met up with several when we were both here in TV. Never regretted going & grateful to the committee who organised a great weekend.

Actually went to my 10th School reunion with believe it or not a bully that used to terrorize me every chance he got. Met up with him in a Mpls bar after getting out of the service. He said he regretted bullying me all through high school and suggested we go to class reunion 1986. Well I picked him up with my Corvette and we both got nametags at the door. We spent about 15 minutes there and that was enough. We met a couple of girls from Canada in the hotel bar and we partied hard with them. I don't remember much of the night after that, but the next morning I woke up to find my Corvette in the driveway almost sideways and when I started it up to pull it into garage(it was super loud). Somehow I managed to loose my whole exhaust system off the car. I called Kevin and he said he don't know how it happened. Best night that I can't remember! I have not attended a class reunion since.
