Seasons1992 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I've refused to go to any of the 4 high school reunions I've been invited to. 10th and 20th for Orchard Park and the same with the high school here. Seems so lame to potentially see people you didn't like then and aren't going to like any more years later. I stay in touch with a few HS people (one is my tax guy) and actually have made a lot of friends in Buffalo since I began traveling for business up there in 2009.

LeviF Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It'll be ten years since I graduated next year. If there is a reunion (class president died senior year, I'm not sure anyone has the motivation to pick up planning and such), I won't be going. All the people from high school I still talk to (all two of them) live less than a 10 minute walk from me. There are a couple of others I'll see on occasion (I live thirty miles from where I went to high school) but other than that no real ties to speak of.

It’s really amazing how well she’s doing. You’d never guess 91, and I just knocked on wood. My parents turned a combined 200 years old two days ago...mom 3 months past her 99th birthday, dad will turn 101 in 3 months (if he makes it, don't think that's in the cards though.) IHS class of 75 has smallish reunions every year in Durand Park, attended by 30-40. Big ones every 5 years attended by 200-300. Try to make them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Friends I grew up with on the same street...haven't seen them in 25 years or more. Friends I went to HS with(graduating class of 600+ and I still live in an adjacent suburb)...unless I run into them by chance, and I happen to recognize them(unlikely lol), not since graduation in the mid 70's.

\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 1. I graduated in a class of about 900. Now the same school graduates 200. 2. I couldn't name five people from my graduating class. It may be because I moved away after graduating. 3. About five years ago I came across a website which was some kind of high school reunion tabulator. The one thing from the website that absolutely floored me were the number of deaths from my graduating class, any many of them at really young ages.

I don't think I have any left, we have moved and had floods so many times, I doubt I even have my wedding album, although my wife accuses me of trying to hide the evidence.
