Where are the Guys
The reunion was such a reaffirmation for me of what a great group of people I graduated from high school with, getting to see classmates who feel as I do that we have a bond that will last forever. It amazes me how we as a class have continued to seek each other out every five years since we graduated. No surprises, no great revelations just good food, good times and great dancing had by all. Please share your experiences at the reunion through posting a comment to this post. It would be great to hear how each of you who attended expereinced the reunion. My favorite experience was seeing the bright smile of Laura Garlington who came all the way from Oregon to attend. I also got a chance to catch up with my fellow baseball players, Tommy, Bill, Kenny and John. The eye doctor was in the house so after talking with Charlie about his brother Willie, I thanked him for referring me to the doctors who eventually figured out why my eye was irritated all of the time. Charlie and his wife were so gracious as always. I would call him solid…. Ricky Beck brought a couple of our classmates we haven’t seen for a while: Bobby Stokes and Kenny Troxell. I’ll bet the dynamics amongst them hasn’t changed since high school. It is what being good friends creates that is timeless. Well I could go on and on down what is now memory lane that spans over more that 4 decades but this is enough for now. I really enjoyed seeing all of you and hope to see you again in five years. Remember to comment if you would like to share how you experienced the reunion as well. You can view more pictures from the reunion at http://picasaweb.google.com/oforaker/40thReunion#
