It still surprises me, but its been twenty years since I graduated high school, which means I've been out of high school longer than I had been alive when I finished! Looking back on my four years of high school, I have lots of fond memories (with a handful of not so pleasant ones mixed in). High school was an important transitional period in my life, and I can still feel the impact of my choices and experiences from that period. As a result, I was looking forward to my 20-year class reunion.
Five years ago, I was the only member of my class to attend the annual reunion events hosted by my high school. Granted, fifteen years isn't generally perceived as a milestone year, but since almost two-thirds of my class still lives within 60 miles of where we went to school, I would have expected at least a few to show up.
Hoping to prevent a repeat of this embarrassing situation, I started contacting class members earlier this year, hoping to encourage people to attend this year's reunion. Unfortunately, I was only partially successful. Only three other classmates attended the reunion dinner/dance on Friday night. I was disappointed by the numbers, but still had a good time catching up with those who were in attendance. We shared news about each other and the other members of the class that we've heard from. All-in-all, it was fun, but I've already decided to start trying to build interest in our quarter century reunion in five years...
