I was not particularly popular in high school. I was never a cheerleader, didn't march in the band and didn't play sports. They didn't have a girls' basketball team in our small town back in the day. I did have some friends, and for the most part got along ok, but I did enjoy college more. However, somehow over the years since high school, I have become closer friends with some of my classmates and, somewhere along the line, ended up serving on the reunion committee. Some members have come and gone but there are four or five of us who seem to be on the committee every five years. By now you may have realized what this is leading up to. This year is our 60th year since graduation, and time for another reunion. This afternoon I met with three other members of the committee to get the invitations addressed and ready to mail out. I'm happy to say we got the job done. The letters are in the mail. Now we just need to see who responds, and especially who sends money, because after renting the hall, arranging for a caterer and paying for postage, we have about $70 left in our treasury. And that's another thing. I'm not sure how it happened, I really don't remember, but somehow it was decided that I would be the reunion committee treasurer. One of the ladies who helped with the mailing today brought along some old high school pictures. Four of them were posed pictures of our class officers. I wasn't in any of those pictures. But here I am, the accidental treasurer and I will be waiting anxiously for responses and checks. And no, we don't take credit cards. I've already been asked.
