you get invited to a school reunion , would you go?

[Spinneret]

yes or no

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Nope - have not done one yet and don’t plan on ever doing one - when I left I was done - I see the people I wish to see

 

[Skywalker3]

Nope

 

[Breezy_Carol]

No. Went to my 5th and 15th but just skipped my 50th.

 

[goofyernmost]

Yes, went to my 10th, 25th and 50th. I enjoyed the last one the most, probably because it most certainly will be the last.

 

[tvguy]

Went to my 5th. I was out of college, unlike many of my classmates, and working on a local TV show that was on 5 nights a week and I was surprised how many of my classmates had seen my name on the air.
Went to my 10th, skilled a couple, and then there were no organized events that I know of for my 30th, 35th, 40th and 45th. My 50th is coming up in two years, hope we have a reunion. So yes, I would go.

 

[Allison Joy]

Let me put it this way... I had signed up for and even paid for my 20th high school reunion, and was actually kind of glad when a family member I live with got COVID and I had an "excuse" not to go.... lol (P.S. family member had mild symptoms. I wasn't glad they got COVID. Please don't take it that way.)

 

[disneychrista]

Nope. Have not been to any of them. My 25th was 8 years ago and they chose to not have a reunion due to previous classes having decline attendance and the prior classes organizers actually losing money on putting it together.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I did have one last fall, but I did not end up going. It wasn't that I particularly did not want to go, it was that things were way too busy during that time. Also, I was sick and coughing horribly, and some of the classmates were not coming due to Covid.

I have never been to any of my own, it seems like they always coincided with vacations and other things.

 

[TikiRob]

Nope. I’m not the same person anymore and I’m not sure people would grasp that.

 

[Liz]

No, I have never been to any of my reunions. I live in a state far away from where I went to high school, but if I lived close I probably still wouldn’t go.

 

[Meriweather]

no...never been to one.
Too far away now and never stayed in touch with any people (other than DH )

 

[goofyernmost]

Nope. I’m not the same person anymore and I’m not sure people would grasp that.

That, my friend, is what makes it fun. I was amazed at how old everyone was.

 

[TippyThomas]

No. I haven't stayed in contact with any of them and it would probably be very awkward to be honest.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I didn't go to my 10 year reunion sooo probably not. Unless I had a good friend that was going.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

I went to my 15th and decided then it would be my first and last. That was 28 years ago.

 

[nene0182]

Nope. I didn’t go to our 10th and our 20th was cancelled because of Covid.

 

[leebee]

I wasn't particularly close with any of the kids in my class, and it was a very large class, over 900 students, so I didn't go to any of the reunions. However, when the 40th rolled around, I was going to be in the state anyhow for a family issue so I decided to go. I had such a good time, I brought DH with me to the 45th, and it was even more fun! We have just started planning for the 50th, which will be in Sept 2024- and I can't wait!

Here's what I learned: Nobody is who they were in high school and a lot of the crap doesn't matter anymore. People DO remember you (especially if there are name tags with your yearbook picture on them- sure helped!). I like seeing how people's lives turned out. I also realized that there is a comfort in talking to people who "get" you, who have the same roots and background as you do. Anyhow, I am wicked glad I went to the 40th reunion, and will keep going every 5 years for as long as we have them (and I can get there)!

 

[georgina]

I might have gone to my 40th to see a few old friends, but it would have been in 2020, so...covid.

I went to a Catholic all girls high school, I was on a scholarship so I have sometimes in the past contributed to their scholarship fund. I moved a couple of years ago and didn't realize the post office tells all of the charities, junk mail people, etc what my new address is, so they found me. I was invited to a local reunion for DC area alumnae. It was at a nice venue so I went. It was mostly younger women than me, but I found it interesting to see what they are doing and hear how the school has changed in 40+ years.
