A few years ago, I came across an old picture of my 4th grade class. Over the years I had remained in touch with a couple kids from back in the day. It was decided to attempt to locate as many of those pictured in the photo, and have a reunion. It took some work, but we located most.
In 2011, we held a reunion at an old pizza restaurant, which was operating in the neighborhood at the time we attended school there. 22 came for the gathering. One even flew in from the state of Maryland.
A repeat performance was held today, and a smaller group, about half the size, attended. It was truly fun to reconnect. Below is the original 4th grade class picture. I am the little girl next to the teacher. She has her hand on my shoulder. Yes, back then, I was one of the smallest in the class; but today, I'm among the tallest of the girls. Yes, that date on the picture (1952) is correct! Normally, I would blur out the year, but at this stage of life, whatya gonna do to me, steal my birthday?
It is funny when old farts gather and try putting ancient memories back together like a jigsaw. Some remember certain things. And, there is a whole lot of mis-remembering that may go on! Confusion can reign until it all gets sorted out. A hilarious process, but oh so very fun!
Here's the photo from 1952, followed by the one taken today!
