I was invited to 2 high school reunions this month-and I am not going to either.
We moved the summer before my senior year at Kennedy and I graduated from a new high school (Troy High, yeah go Warriors!)….so I have always felt a little strange. If I attended the Troy reunion, I think I would only be recognized by a handful of people- and even then only as ‘that new girl with the ’56 Chevy’ (yup, thar she is in the photo- the day I go it- I was 16!). And if I attend Kennedy High (yeah go Irish!) I am really afraid they will have forgotten all about me in the year I was gone. I was not a ‘real’ senior with the Kennedy class either- will they even let me go? What if I try and there is an ugly scene at the door to the Hilton banquet room? “I am sorry m’am but I am going to have to ask you to leave- you didn’t actually graduate with these people”…..No I didn’t. But a lot of those people I knew since Jr. High and even some since elementary school…..so, since I am not one for confrontation…I am going to be staying home from BOTH reunions this year. But you know me- I did register on-line for the bio book for both schools…and I left my blog page address. If they remember me-and want to know what my life is like- this is a pretty good place to start don’t ya think?

sweet ride!
.. that must be a difficult situation as far as where your loyalty resides and to go back or not… I’ve decided that I pretty much stay in touch with everyone I want to stay in touch with since high school … and for the others, there is always facebook.
Look at you? So very cool…I haven’t gone to any of mine either. Maybe at 25 years.
My dad had a 55 Chevy when I was in Junior/High School. Man I loved that car. I “helped” him restore it. Almost the same colors as yours. We were re-creating the one he had when he was younger.
hey Marcy, yup I agree with you, what if they don’t give your blog address out to people to check out though? My high school had a reunion last year but I really wasn’t interested either. for one, I’d kept in contact with the friends I’d made back then and secondly there wasn’t anyone I wanted to catch up with anyway, btw can I add you to my blog links? :-)
