It's the Year 2026
Everything we've experienced in life
won't stop the planets from spinning,
on and on, year by year...
Everyone an individual
Everyone special
Everyone taking a different path through life;
The next several years we will grow;
older, smarter, and if we are fortunate,
sometimes wiser;
Years in which we will lose;
things
and
sadly
Friends and Family,
Possessions will get misplaced
Memories will fade
Friends will part ways
Friends will part ways
The best friends, we try to hold on to
This is what counts in life
Isn't it?

Ask your Sexagenarian butt (2) two questions:
Would you attend...
1) Glenview 'BIG 50' Golden in the fall 2028?
2) Las Vegas 'BIG 50' Golden in April or May of 2028?
"Let's Play Two!"
The reason for Two Reunions is simple
1) It may be one of the last good reunions
2) Las Vegas is a great hub to get-together
3) Many have moved and will not return to Glenview
4) 2020 We had over 50 attending until the virus cancelled it

Las Vegas is very vibrant and improved
If you do it right, it will not break the bank!
<------- Look at the Las Vegas 'BIG 50' tabs Links
Ask 1978 alum Rick Daniels,
Las Vegas local resident,
United Airlines Captain for over 30+ Years!
He's our local Sexagenarian
Combined we can answer most questions

Speaking of Sexagenarians
1/3 of the Class of '78 are living in Illinois
2/3's in other areas of our blue marble

Some in the south and others in the north
Some in other countries!

CLASS REUNIONS
'BIG 50' Glenview 'Golden Reunion'
Every ten years,
as springtime nears,
An announcement arrives in the mail,
A reunion is planned; it sure will be grand;
A reunion is planned; it sure will be grand;
So make plans to attend without fail.
I'll never forget, the first time we met;
We all tried real hard to impress.
We drove fancy cars, we smoked big cigars,
And we wore our most elegant dress.
It was quite an affair;
the whole class was there.
the whole class was there.
It was held at a fancy hotel.
We wined, and we dined, and we acted refined,
And everyone thought it was swell.
And everyone thought it was swell.
The men all conversed, about who had been first
To achieve their great fortune and fame.
To achieve their great fortune and fame.
Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses
And how beautiful their children became.
The homecoming queen, who once had been lean,
Now weighed in at two-forty-six.
The jocks who were there, had all lost their hair,
The cheerleaders no longer did kicks.
But no one had heard, about the class nerd
Who'd programmed the flight to the moon;
Or poor little Jane, who's always been plain;
Or poor little Jane, who's always been plain;
Who married a shipping tycoon.
The boy we'd decreed, "most apt to succeed"
Was serving ten years in the pen,
While the one voted "least", he now was a priest;
Just shows that we're wrong now and then.
They awarded a prize, to one of the guys
Who seemed to have aged the least.
Another was given, to he that had driven
The farthest to attend the feast.
They took a class picture, a curious mixture
Of beehives, crew cuts and wide ties.
And tall, short or skinny, the style was mini;
And tall, short or skinny, the style was mini;
You never saw so many thighs.
At the next get-together, nobody cared whether
They impressed their classmates or not.
The mood was informal, a whole lot more normal,
'cause this time we had all gone to pot.
It was held out-of-doors, right along the lake shore,
We ate hamburgers, coleslaw and beans.
Then most of us laid, around in the shade,
Then most of us laid, around in the shade,
In our comfortable T-shirts and jeans.
By our fortieth year, it's abundantly clear,
That we're definitely over the hill.
And those who weren't dead had to crawl out of bed,
And get home just in time for their pill.
And now I can't wait; they've just set the date;
Our 'BIG 50' is coming, I'm told.
It should be a ball, and they've rented a hall
At the "Shady Rest Home" for the old.
Repairs have been made, on my old hearing aid;
My pacemaker's turned up on high.
My walker's been oiled, my teeth have been boiled
And I've bought a new wig and glass eye.
I'm feeling quite hearty, I'm ready to party
I'll dance until dawn's early light.
We'll have lots of fun, and I hope at least one
Other person will make it that night.
In 1.75 Short Years... or 2028
Join us in 2028 for our
SEXAGENARIAN 'BIG 50' Golden
It might be the last!

High School Reunion
What happened to those handsome guys
with washboard abs and muscled thighs?
Those youthful, energetic teens
with roaming hands and urgent jeans?
And all the girls with tiny waists,
some were loose and others chaste?
We had that storied teenaged glow
the world was there for us to know
Now everybody looks the same
we're age-enhanced and lost our game
The boys who had the perfect bods
are doughy or as thin as rods
Those who had the thickest hair
now boast a strand, just here and there
The pretty girls, once shaped like 8
don't have the curves to celebrate.
It seems the older we become
we're less unique and all just one
Recalling life when it was fun,
Stick a fork in us - I think we're done!

Reunions aren't about...
Waistlines, Hairlines, or Credit lines
They're about Lifelines
Reunions are about reconnecting with our friends

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you,
who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,
sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."
