Twenty years and counting
A piece of mail arrived for me the other day. That envelope barely made it into the “read” pile and almost ended up in the “junk” pile. As it turned out, it was an invitation to my 20-year, high school reunion.
Ugh.
I’ve been trying to figure out how I feel about this, and even if I want to go.
Let’s see:
Pros:
- It might be entertaining.
- I lost touch with one friend about five years ago when he changed jobs. There’s a slim chance he might go to the reunion. (Rodney, if you’re reading this, just send me your email address and spare me the grief.)
- I didn’t go to my 10-year reunion.
Cons:
- Plane fare
- Hotel fare
- The reunion would eat several days.
- I didn’t go to my 10-year reunion.
- My husband and I already have three plane-required trips scheduled for 2007.
I went through the on-line class list and a few names sparked my memory. I remember my high school boyfriend, of course. My best friend in high school graduated in a different year, so she’s not on the list. I recognized a few other names on the list, but none of the names made my brain scream “Wow, it would be cool to see that person again.” For several people, however, my brain did scream “Wow, it would be nice to get a letter from them.”
The reunion invitation/flyer indicated that even if I did not attend the reunion, I could buy a “bio book.” The bio book has people’s pictures, contact information, and a very small amount of text on each person.
Yep, I think the bio book is the answer. I can write letters to the people I’m curious about; after all, those people probably only vaguely remember by name.
