Hi Sue, thanks for posting this, It would be a real shame if our class did not have a 50th reunion. If there is to be a 50th reunion now is the time to start planning, sending out announcments and collecting contact information. With most of us are retired and living away from our childhood home people need as much lead time and encouragement as possilble in order to generate both support and a good turn out. I have not been a part in any of our past planning committees but would be will ing to help.
I know we have had an active group of school officers who have stayed in touch and worked hard over the years to produce the reunions we did have. And to those people, Jane, Jan, Steve, just to name a very few, I say thank you, well done. If that grooup is not too burned out and would consider getting together at least one more time for the big five -0. I am sure you would find many people like myself and Sue who would be willing to help.
We are that point in our lives when we are sadly saying good-bye to many of our old frends, neighbors and classmates. Each year I see postings from and about classmates that I grew up with and went to school with but really don't remember ever really talking to very much once we hit Pacific. And t truly regret that. I know there are a variety of reasons for this (I was very insecure and not comfortable in my own skin). I am sure I was not alone, teenagers can be such self-centered and insecure beings. There are some perks to growing older! I for one would like a chance to say hello to you all and to and share some childhood rememberances in person and not on memorial page. I am going to post this now before I over think this and delete this!
