I've managed to locate one classmate, but haven't contacted him. I'm doubtful that I'd be well-accepted if I showed up in a dress...it was a rather conservative farming area in upstate NY.<br /><br />As far as your event goes, you looked very pretty...and if I had been in your class, I'd have been proud to buy you a drink and talk with you. I'm glad the others treated you ok...but I think your theory about reunions is probably accurate - bragging rights!<br /><br />A standing ovation for your courage, girlfriend. Maybe someday we can meet and talk... Though I'm getting out a bit on my own, I need some of your confidence.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />MandyMandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-91239163528592914932014-11-10T06:35:41.148-05:002014-11-10T06:35:41.148-05:00I have always found reunions a little difficult, a...I have always found reunions a little difficult, and I suspect that they might be even more difficult now. My own school was single sex and closed around 10 - 12 years after I left. At that point there was a reunion and it felt as though it was all about point scoring, who had the biggest car, the highest salary or the prettiest wife. As a musician I lost out on all of these.<br /><br />I wonder if we had another reunion now how many would turn up and how they would react to me now. In those days I was what you Yanks would call a Jock, I played Rugby in the front row, threw the hammer and pumped iron, now I'm three stone (42 lbs) lighter a bit shorter (unless I wear heels) and although I present rather differently I am still recognisable.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577631984995202146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242321492229602144.post-23067991308736862232014-11-10T00:12:21.001-05:002014-11-10T00:12:21.001-05:00Sophie -

And I think you found that many people don't give a hoot about the past, save that it links people together as part of a community. Hopefully, you'll be there for your 40th anniversary - as I was for mine. (However, I will spring being TG on the group at our 50th anniversary - if a party is held....)<br /><br />MMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346866501735405647noreply@blogger.com
