Reunion time

Our class (Woodlan High School Class of 1962) will be having our 55 year reunion in June. I just finished stuffing envelopes with invitations so this is on my mind right now. We went to a small high school, 52 in our graduating class, so we invite everyone who was ever in our class, even if they didn't actually graduate. This includes all of the Amish kids (obviously not kids any more) and they have come to most of our reunions and are often the life of the party. Years ago at probably our 25th reunion we went around the room asking people what they did and how many children they had. Probably not PC but we didn't care back then. I loved one Amish friend's answer, "I have 15 kids and I do as little as I possibly can."  Another Amish surprise, 10 years ago, one of the Amish men who showed up at the reunion had just completed some work on my deck the month before. I hadn't even realized he was a classmate. He was wearing a long gray beard as a disguise. Can't wail to see who shows up this year.
