My 30th reunion is coming up AACK. Im old. lol .. to the school I went to in PA. I did not graduate from there . I moved the last month of my junior year but went to that same school from first grade to my junior year ( minus a month)
The reason we moved is because my dad went into the federal witness program ( He turned in drug dealers in PA , I have posted this story awhile back you can read about it under the title is there something someone would never know about you or something like that) and the only reason I can say it now is that everyone involved in the bust is dead or in their 80s or 90s.. The school I went to in PA was very small. If I had graduated from there our class was less then 200 people. I have reconnected with all my old friends and they said they are inviting me even though I did not technically graduate from there. That I was in that school way more then the school I graduated from which was HUGE and I will always be in the class of 83 alumni in the school in PA.
Talk about culture shock , I went from a 200 person class to a class that had almost 1200 kids in it.. I went from an all white school ,to a school that I was defiantly the minority. Only 5 percent was white.. 80 percent black and 15 percent Vietnamese I dont even remember but about 2 people I graduated with at the school in New Orleans .. I mean I remember others of them vaguely but if I would pass them on the street I would not know them. The kids from my PA school I would know. I know their families, I mean it was town that everyone knew everyone.. I want to go to the reunion but then feel I did not graduate there should I.(even though I was invited.) I have almost a year to decide . My best friend from there said she would come down and drag me up there. I never been to any others but those were before Facebook and I have connected with many old friends since the last one lol .. Would you go or have you gone to your high school reunions?
I also love the fact that all my best friends from PA all turned out to be REP even though ALL of us grew up in Democratic homes LOL

. What helped was one of my classmates set up a facebook page for it. So i was able to see quite a few of my old friends that i hadn't seen in 40 years...that helped tremendously when we went to the reunion, i didn't have to guess who some of them were...after 40 yrs people can change a LOT! Lol! What helped too was they made name tags with pictures from our Senior year so you could tell right away who they were. One of the girls and i decided to switch tags for awhile, that messed a few people up! Lol!
