We get busy, move away, etc. Can't explain it, but for whatever reason, we (the four) have stayed in touch all these years and have shared some very happy and some very sad times together. I am blessed.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044809909346778655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22420385.post-81432057212140846722008-09-09T17:03:00.000-05:002008-09-09T17:03:00.000-05:00I love your stories, and the pictures of then and ...I love your stories, and the pictures of then and now just really top them off. Hope you are saving these things for future nostalgia. One day, your children will look back and be glad they are there to read to their grandchildren. My daughter and I were looking at old pictures of her paternal grandparents as they lived their lives of more than 50 years together. They are both gone now, and what questions we had, well, they will just have to remain questions...there is no one to answer them now. Thanks again for sharing a bit of your nostolgia with us.Baxterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765056126283077247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22420385.post-29478317737437459482008-09-08T11:19:00.000-05:002008-09-08T11:19:00.000-05:00Scotty:It's real interesting re: reunions.

My wife is like you--has no desire to see any of the people she graduated with. <BR/><BR/>We had our "cliques" as well. <BR/><BR/>Definetly something to be said for not driving 20 miles/minutes to the grocery store.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044809909346778655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22420385.post-71028015739224331442008-09-08T09:58:00.000-05:002008-09-08T09:58:00.000-05:00I graduated in 1968 from a school in upstate New Y...I graduated in 1968 from a school in upstate New York. The elementary, middle school and high school were all in the same building!! We had 50 in our graduating class! So I know small towns too. But, my experience was almost the complete opposite yours.<BR/><BR/>Haven’t been to a single class reunion, I really can’t get excited about seeing people I didn’t care for back then. You wouldn’t think a small town could be as clicky as I felt that one was. After my stint in Vietnam I became even more estranged from my peers back then.<BR/><BR/>I don’t miss small towns or country livin’. It’s GREAT not having to drive 20 minutes to got shopping!!Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121811949825846208noreply@blogger.com
