I will be celebrating my 50th High School reunion on Saturday the 27th. Its hard to believe 50 years has gone by. I have been on the reunion committee for the 20th and 30th, then organized the 40th, myself. I am on the committee for this one but didn't want much involvement...time to let others do some work. I embroidered 84 name tags, so that was my contribution.
This was my School crush from Grade 7 right through to Grade 12. We have kept in touch and remain good friends after all these years, just wasn't to be anything more. He will always have a place in my heart...Hugs Jerri

Great photo! That's a long time ago! I was to my 20th (about 6 months after my first hubby passed). We were supposed to have another one in 10 years - never happened - now would be getting closer to the 50th, but that probably won't happen either - lol!
Hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you. It was a great time. If your in touch with any of your classmates, you should try to organize one. I have been on the committee for our 20,30, 40 and 50th. Its so much easier now with Facebook and e-mail.
I went to the same school as Michael J. Fox, he was just a few years behind me. I think we are the only Graduating class that has had so many reunions, but some of us go all the way back to Elementary school, so very long friendships.

That's exciting! I always loved him as an actor. He is a truly likeable person.

Thanks Rescuer, only because I am sitting with my one true love. Just didn't connect the way we should have, but we still keep in touch and remain friends. I have my memories...lol...

Thank you, it was a great time. Congratulations on your Golden Anniversary. Hope you will show pictures of then and now. So much fun to look back. Everyone sent me picture they had taken at the reunion, so I was able to put one picture of all those that attended into one folder. Just keeping them for future events...

It was a great time. So nice to catch up with friends and see where life has taken them over the last 50 years. For most life has been good, others unfortunately, health is a problem, but they came anyway.
23282Thinking of you tonight (Saturday) and hoping you are having a wonderful reunion.

Thank you. I had an awesome time. Received a beautiful bouquet of flowers for all my work on the committee and for embroidering 84 name tags.

Thank you Lillian. Timing just wasn't in the stars for us, but we do keep in touch. Its too bad things aren't the same today as back then.
145791First love.......isn't it grand? I married my high school sweetheart, but not my first love. He will forever be my last, though.

Have a great time on the weekend after all the work you've done you deserve to have lots of fun. Sadly as we grow older, there are fewer at the reunion so make sure to catch up with everyone (interesting ) lol.

I was born and raised in Vancouver and have lived in a few of the Municipalities around Vancouver, but never out of the lower mainland.
The stories I could tell you about him and I's connect is quite the story, but too long to get into...

85867It's so nice to remember. Nice looking couple you made,though. I do rather how the young men dressed back then,compared to today. They looked so sharp!
