Wow... 30 Years Eh?

Tonight I attended a high school reunion function. Actually, not just any but rather the 30th year reunion of my high school graduating class. Our graduating class was quite large. Something like 800 students I think. There were so many of us the graduation ceremony was held over two nights. So, taking that into consideration the reunion reception was attended by a much smaller number. I don't know how many showed up. Probably a hundred or so. Anyways, none of the guys I hung out with everyday during my senior high school days showed up. Two of the people who I had known since grade 1 did show up. That was really neat. There was one guy who claimed to know one of the people who started the fire that burned down the high school whose graduating class got merged with ours. That's why our grad class was so large.

I did make a point of finding out if there was going to be reunion this year. It was important for me in that most of us are still around. The number of those who have passed on is relatively small. Which goes to show that we're all living good lives and have taken care of ourselves. I suspect the list of those who have passed on will be longer when the next reunion rolls around in ten years time.


nb: Went paddling this morning on the club OC1. I was told it was 3°C this morning. I made darn sure I didn't flip the boat and end up in the drink...
