And, indeed, we HAVE kept in touch. One woman sends a monthly update which, sadly has much illness and occasional deaths. But emails and get well cards flow [prayers too] between us which hadn't been the case all those 50 years. I find it a fascinating phenomenon and I'm happy to hear it happens to others.<br /><br />Just found your blog.

My husband and I live in Northern Colorado and we traveled to Illinois for the event (and that took two 9-hour days of driving each way).

Then in 1996 the school had an all-school all-year gathering to celebrate its 75 years of existence. That one was a little too formal, including a banquet with lots of speeches. Let's see, that would mean the 100-year celebration will be in 2021, and I would be about 80. Hmmmm. I think we'd better have another class reunion instead (and sooner).Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-12712764694983489152010-09-28T14:57:36.718-06:002010-09-28T14:57:36.718-06:00It's lovely to meet up with old friends,

We recently had our 30 year reunion. Amazing how many people still smoke, drink like a fish, and are very much over weight. I hope to see them all at the enxt reunion. Three dies over the summer. Health issues. Could have been prevented. <br /><br />Me, I'm taking much better care of myself and learning to love the unloveable. My perspectives are changing over time.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.stephentremp.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen Tremp</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-53442619344026213412010-09-28T08:20:41.451-06:002010-09-28T08:20:41.451-06:00Patricia - Thanks for sharing your experiences.

It's always interesting to think about what's happened to people one knew in school, and how reassuring to know that there are people who, after a number of years, still remember one and are still interested in keeping in touch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-14103100950276132232010-09-28T07:44:23.260-06:002010-09-28T07:44:23.260-06:00I love this post!

I just chuckled because my husband has lost some as well. He replied, "But Amy, he really looks old!" I can only imagine what they must have thought of us, lol! I'm glad to know that the conversation eventually shifts toward the things that matter. Miss Patricia, the closer I get to turning 40, the more liberated I feel!

And today, I am closer to them than I ever was when we were in school.<br /><br />So glad you had a good time.
