2014 Class Reunion

Value Friendship: There is nothing so lasting as a friendship. It can span the decades of time and come back full circle to that one we call friend and time is so good to us. It erases wrinkles, changes our shape or color of hair and gives us the genuine heart to heart that we once knew. We can mingle in that hour or two or three and then know that if we don’t meet for another decade, we will find friendship still waiting to meet us again down the road. This time is has been 25 or 50 years since we have met some of these friends but we are welcomed with a smile and that hearty laugh that we would know in our sleep and the years melt away. We chat about kids, things we like to do, trips we have taken, and where we live. Lastly we shared our aches and pains if we talk that long. Thus, we find that we are all so different yet we are all so alike. Tributes go to the individuals who worked hard to locate classmates by phoning, using the internet, local libraries, historical records and relatives. Then, tributes go to those who gathered the bios and put them together in a book (even adding a forward) and our pictures in a slide show. Tomorrow, we meet again and we’ll talk about things that happened back in the day, the news, the clothes, the shoes, the hair, the town, etc. We’ll all remember what it was like “back in the day.” It is always so sweet to us to remember only the good times in our past.
