And Then the Day is Upon Us, Class of 1966 Reunion
Back in June, I started the task of hosting the class reunion for my high school. It was special for a few reasons, it is our 60th anniversary, we were the first class to graduate from what was then a new high school, and I knew a few of our officers had passed.
Even as I viewed the photo taken at our 50th reunion, I would glace at the faces and seemingly recognize some.
I created a Facebook page, and did get some responses, a few of which were local and gave me a database of names.
From there it was develop a mailer and send out invites, 120 of them. I got back the undeliverable cards, after all it has been 10 years. I did get some calls from spouses letting me know that the fellow grad had passed and some recently.
Buy I also got the calls from those very happy that something was being done and would gladly be attending.
So, as of this writing, I have a gathering planned of 34 and am also expecting a few drop ins, as that does happen.
Whomever does show up, there will be smiles, and I'm sure a few tears, (after all, I am a softy) and a happy few hours just being able to assemble and talk about the days and the fun times as well.
So, Class of 1966, from J F Kennedy High School, Waterbury CT your day has come.
