My son, Chuck, went along with me to the reunion which was at a very nice hotel in Orlando. Two 72 y.o. men, the Judge and another gentleman invited him to golf with them on Saturday. He accepted and was to meet them at breakfast before they went - when he met them, he was on time, but found they had already eaten so he missed breakfast. They played 18 holes - so he missed lunch. The Judge brought Chuck and the other fella back to the hotel, dropped them off and he went back and played 9 more holes by himself. Nearly killed and starved Chuck. Chuck grabbed some very late lunch, fell asleep til banquet time. We had about 72 72 y.o. class members and their spouses or significant others in attendance. One came from a foreign country to be there and all points of the U.S. were represented. Our class was at least 600 strong way back when and some of them are still going strong, holding jobs, professional people, all sorts of careers, etc. The judge met me nearly at the door when we got there, whisked me off, with Chuck's surprise and reluctant permission, to his room. We played two very rousing games (of Scrabble). We tied one and he soundly trounced me in the second game. Then he politely hugged me and delivered me right back to Chuck.
We wore our grad pic on a chain around our neck and the hardest part of the reunion was balancing that picture with the face above it. I didn't recognize anybody. I did find one of our members who had not changed a whit, except she was now at least 5 yrs older. We all caught up with who is where, who is gone, who is going. We all had great fun. It might be the last one we have, so I am glad I went. It was one of those 'I wouldn't haved missed it for the world' times.
uh - And Ross, I am telling it almost straight!
