Debbie,
Thanks for pointing me to the 45th year reunion pics. Exactly what I was looking for. Funny, even tho everyone has aged gently, all ya all look a lot older than me. (Yes, I have a mirror.) As an honest observation, that has to be true. TO ME, everyone looks older, but perhaps "he sees what he wants to see".
I also looked at the list of missing classmates, which really surprises me. A quick guesstimate of the total was around 350. I'm thinking our entire class total was around 450, which means about 80% are missing. I doubt that many are looking but can't find this site, but I also doubt that apathy could be that extensive. IDK, did they forget where they went to school? Are they being held hostage at classmates? I haven't tried to find anyone for many years, but with facebook knowing more about us than we do, and adobe tracking our every move for the last 20 years, a little hacking should reveal volumes. looking - no hacking - looking.
Seems like it's getting pretty late for anyone to start planning a 50 year reunion. (Calling it a 50th reunion implies that we either have one every year or that we're REALLY old.) I'm certainly not up for that task, it's just not the sort of thing I do well. I missed the 45 year, so did we do something to alienate the class of '69 so that they'll have nothing of us this go around? Heck, we could just crash their reunion. Who's going to stop us? Or better yet, look at their list of missing classmates, and well, you know, find someone. (Just kidding, Debbie. Much appreciate all that you're doing.)
Sorry, when I started this message I fully intended to maintain a dignified tone, but apparently, I've lost all dignity and I'm too damn old to care. Anyone else notice this? When I was young, I couldn't grasp the concept of "no fear", but I've reached an age where fear requires too much effort so now I've fully embraced it.
