Mike, Mark and Audra - 30th Thirtiest Reunion
It's the Year 2025
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
The best friends, we try to hold on to
This is what counts in life,
isn't it?

31st Reunion or "The Thirtiest"
Brad Sussman coined the phrase
"THIRTIEST"
we were at year 31!
Reunions aren't about...
Waistlines, Hairlines, or Credit lines
They're about Lifelines
Reunions are about reconnecting with our friends
from some of the best years of our lives...
It's about caring for our classmates,
teachers and their families - our families!
♦ Recoginize ♦
We're not getting older...
We're becoming a classic!
Make plans to reconnect with someone today,
you'll be glad you did!
Know that Life is fleeting
2009 for the 'Thirtiest' Reunion at The Park Center
The 30th Reunion at the Park District's Lakeview room

Over 250 Alums, Faculty and Guests attended!

Families relocated to Glenview to train at 'The Base'
Do you remember watching the Blue Angels taking off and landing
(Look on bottom Announcements for the' Heros on Deck' videos)
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."

"Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love,
the things you are, the things you never want to lose."
~ Kevin Arnold from The Wonder Years
The 'BIG 60' Birthday Party was derailed due to the CCP Pandemic
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!

Brad Sussman
Although we were a year late, with the help of

This is what Reunions are all about!
