In anticipation of our big event, several classmates are sharing their excitement. Today, here's why Cathy Hollomon Naylor is looking forward to the reunion:
I am planning to attend our 50-year reunion for several reasons, one of which is to keep my record going! I have not missed ONE (not even ONE) reunion since the very first one in 1977-- our five-year reunion. Now I'd be lying if I said I remember much about it, but I do know that each one has been fun, interesting, and maybe a tiny bit sad. It's always so great to see all (or at least some of) my old friends and to pick right up where we left off. It's amazing how that is so true! It's so cool to be able to talk to old friends who I have maybe not even spoken to since the last reunion (or since graduation even!) and it's like nothing has changed -- except maybe the way we look, just a little! (Haha.) The sad part, of course, is finding out who we have lost ... and there have been many. So, I guess the good news is it's great to reconnect and to feel blessed that we are still here to reminisce and reconnect ... if only for a couple of days. I have always felt that we -- the Class of '72 -- were the best class ever! What other high school class do you know of that has continued having reunions every five years? (Well, except for one, I think .. but we picked up with the next one.) We are awesome!!
So, thank you to everyone who has hung in there with us and continue to do their best to attend our class reunions. They are a blast, and I'm looking forward to seeing y'all in May!!!
Keep on Truckin'!
