For the most part there was a feeling that our 60th was different and maybe better than most reunions have been. Much of that was created by the 'return to the classroom' format. The presentations by the volunteer members (and that spouse guy) were excellent and captured attention. The nostalgia quizes and the surveys were also new and took us back, even though some of the people can't remember s***. In many ways, this proved quite different than the traditional sitting around tables in small cliques, eating, maybe a little dancing and bragging about kids and grandkids. Of course, we always need some time to talk about our health problems.
Do you think it might be a good idea to talk to the high school and share some of the things we did and encourage them to take a role in future reunions? Our 'return to the classroom' might be even better if we actually went back to the school to do it. What do you think?
