The last class

[Josephine96]

I know this is probably insignificant to you guys lol.. But I thought I'd share it with you..

Today is old HS' graduation day. They graduate tonight @ 7 and I plan on being there to support the friends I still have from the school.

Anyway.. This is the sad part. They are my "last class". They were 9th graders when I was a senior at that school. So as I was leaving, they had 3 more years.

I have watched a lot of them grow and become better young minds. It's been kinda an emotional time for me.

Tonight my last class leaves GHS. After tonight.. I probably will have very few reasons if any to ever return to my alma mater because there is hardly anyone I know there..

Congratulations to my class of 2004 as well as any other grads we have on the board that graduate this year!

I graduate this year too on June 16th. Yeah, I feel the same way as you John!

[Josephine96]

Hey Yoda.. Congratulations on your graduation.. June 16th huh..? You guys must have a long school year up there

[Josephine96]

John, speaking of one's high school...mine is across the highway from an eatery called Skyline Chili...which is famous there in Cincinnati. Whenever
I'm with my folks on a vacation up that way it's neat to stop there and while eating...looking at the school building...sure brings back the memories...both the chili and academic years!

Through Classmates.com I re-connected with a good friend named Gary who is now an Assembly of God pastor located along Lake Erie in Port Clinton, OH.
He's married with 3 sons and a daughter.

I am on Classmates.com also.. But I am just a standard member.. Not a gold member..

My old HS is right across the street from where the Houston Astros have spring training games..

I can't believe it's taken me this long to completely give the old school up.. I still go back every once in a while, but nowhere near as much as I used too and with trying to help Cassie and all that at times, I still go back on occasion..

yes sir Garrett.. I am a proud member of the Class of 2001.

*high five*

{high fives back.. up high, down low,}

[Skywatch_NC]

I'm not a Gold member either...it's too bad Classmates.com started that kind of thing...just wanting more and more $$$. Otherwise it's a nice site.

By the way... we were the REAL FIRST class of the new millenium. I made sure the seniors my junior year knew that!

[Josephine96]

I agree Eric.. it's a very nice site..

Everytime I get an e mail that says someone new has joined I always ask myself.. "Who has joined the Classmates.com paa-ttttyyy.." {slang for party lol}

don't ask

By the way... we were the REAL FIRST class of the new millenium. I made sure the seniors my junior year knew that!

I was confused with 2001 being the first REAL year of the new millenium for awhile...funny it doesn't start with the double 0's.

Eric

[Josephine96]

I was confused too.. lol..

This thread is surely getting popular all of a sudden

[wx247]

But there are only 3 of us chatting in it! hehehe

[Josephine96]

LOL Garrett.. You had to steal my thunder didn't you lol

[azskyman]

Congratulations on your graduation. It is a big BIG deal, and we are proud of you.

Remember to be genuine in your goodbyes to others who share this night with you.

As a class of 1964 graduate, I can honestly say that graduation night was the last time I saw many of my classmates.

And the next step of real life begins....

[Josephine96]

I was not graduating.. My friends were lol..
