    For the last few days I have reviewing my class photos. What can you say when someone

    come up to you and said you don't remember me, do you. At a funeral two years ago a

    young lady came up to me and said , you don't remember me. We went together in HS and I

    took her to my prom. She look so young and still beautiful.

    What can you say, it's so embarrassing. I thought of saying,it's been over 50 years and my mind

    is not that sharp anymore.

    Also there is a nutcase JW in my class, I hope she show up. LOL

    My graduation class over 900..

    I have avoided my reunions, too clichey and still thinking status was so important.

    I went with my husband to his last 2 and sat with the other spouses of the post graduates who ignored us. After 3 renuions we know each other fairly well.

    Go - have fun, don't worry about it, other people are in the same boat. The last one I went to they gave us name tags - so it was easy!

    It was my 50th class reunion two months ago, about 70 students small mountian town northern Calif. Somewhat akward as I was the draft dogger [a felon for failing to report for community service in lieu of military induction] as there were about 8 students killed in Viet Nam and a bunch of the guys who were veterans. Sat with the gun totting son of the draft board member who fowarded my case to the Federal Court, we conversed ok. Had a interesting conversation with one who married a JW and his being not real welcomed by her family and circle of friends even though he is a educated pharacist. The 'jocks' had the fatest bodies, the girls didn't age well. I had one of the better preserved bodies so that helped. One JW in the crowd who knew I was 'apostate' wanted to encourage to return to what I know to be true. So I fucked a little with her mind.

    The school and the times were a good place for a kid to grow up. I would like to do it all over minus the JW mental bondage. A boy could fish, mine gold a lot of old timers who were real men in that community.

    Just fine: I hope we have name tags and pictures...

    Bill: I was a jock, so a lot of people knew me. It sadden me to think that

    my oldest son missed out on the joy of HS because he was JW, but my youngest

    son was able to have that experience. So stupid of me I wasn't a JW in HS and

    enjoyed every year of it. So what did I do, denied those unforgettable years for my son.

    I hate that cult.

    The wife ask, should we wear our pajamas. The event starts at 8pm-11...

    Hell we are in bed around 8 pm...

    Yes being a JW robbed me and many others of a very precious time of life. All school activities were not allowed.

    There deffinatly was a need for name tags. It will take you down memory lane as there was a innocencies of that time period at least in a small mountian town. You will come away with a reflective prospective.

    Yes I too hate that cult and hope to do something about it.

    So one baby boomer to another Shalom
