Hmmm......Interesting dialog about reunions. This website created by Cassi S’67, was hatched from one of our reunions and parties. The concept behind the site was to stay connected. My class W’67 was very small and out of necessity we had friends from the preceding and following classes. Since many of us had married Narbonne girls and boys from other classes, our reunions were never exclusively one year or another. Also growing up in our neighborhood we played and went to school with both younger and older children, forming lasting friendships. Regardless of age or any other distinction it’s always great to share food, conversation, memories, and music with old friends. Much like the parties we had during and long after school. It seems that at each of our reunions and parties a few more people are not in attendance, only present in our memories. Sometimes people we haven’t seen for 40 years come, knowing that it may be the last time we see each other. In fact, our first party was a send off for one of our friends and team mates, knowing that it would be the last party we all would attend together. We had so much fun that it had spawned several others. My point is that fun and friendship is not exclusive to class. We’ve had parties or mini reunions of 10 and we have had enchanted times, as well as, reunions and parties of 100 and more with the same memorable evenings. The main ingredients for a special evening are the people. Reunions and parties are to relive your youth…..reminisce about the fun times and cars….that’s why they play the music of your era. Go and enjoy yourself.
