Annette - glad you enjoyed your 25th Reunion! Sounds like you had a great time. I've been to all of my reunions. Although our class skipped our 25th too. The same group of girls (went to an all-girls Catholic HS) who had student council positions and carried that attitude into our reunions, always being on the committees, balked at the 25th. Seems there was a lot of feedback over how expensive our 20th was and why was it so upsclale. Why not just hold it at our HS, many said. I guess the feedback was so strong, this group said that's it, we're not volunteering our time anymore. So our 20th came and went, no reunion! We almost didn't have a 30th either, but we snuck it in under the timeframe, it almost became our 31st reunion. A different group stepped forward and organized it. I would not want to be on this committee either, 243 graduates, but about 1/3 come back. Maybe close to a half. We skip the spouses now, they're usually bored out of their minds. My husband breathes a sigh of relief, b/c he was saved, he only had to attend a family picnic for my 20th. Holding a beer, munching on a burger, dressing casual wasn't that bad. Stick him at a black tie, sit down dinner affair and he'd be asking to get out of it. The only husbands that want to go are guys who went to neighboring all boy HS's and who knew many in our graduating class.
The class reunion I want to crash is my ex's....dang, I can't! He went to an all-boy's school and I remember many from his class. I never hear how they are anymore.......oh well! I wish I knew someone from his class, that I could just borrow a directory, to see who married who, etc. I had history there with his classmates, and poof it was all gone when we got divorced.
