I've lived in California for over 40 years, but all my schools are in New York, so I almost never go to reunions. I went to my 40th high school reunion and will go to the 50th next year. I've attended only one college reunion and might go to my 50th in a few years. That's it, though.
I stopped going to my High School reunions 10 years ago after we moved out of state and have not been missing them. I always felt I tried to reconnect. I had very few close friends and I was a bit of an outcast in our small town as my Dad was the well-known town drunk. I now prefer occasionally hanging out with very few new friends who both like and trust me.
I've never lived close enough to attend a class reunion. Now at 67 I'm close to the big 5-0 next year and I can honestly say that's the last place I want to go and reunite. I didn't graduate from there, I left at 17 and graduated in a new school my senior year. I never forgave my parents for moving me in my last year,I think it's had lasting effects.
Couldn’t agree with you more!! Beautifully said!!
The ladies in the picture, didn’t they become Hall of Famers?
Yes! We were female athlete pioneers!

The authentic connections are what keep us energized.
