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

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."

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!
