Saturday, I went to my high school
reunion. It was for all the alumni. Unfortunately only two others from my class
were there. Fortunately my school was small and I knew a number of the people
who attended from other classes. It was great to see four of my former
teachers. All but one of them remembered me. I also found it interesting to see
that they did not look so old because when they taught they were old.
I was also pleased to reconnect with
some of my cousins on my mother’s side of the family. It is not often that I see
these people since only one of them lives in the area although all of us are
within driving distance.
Leroy went along and he dealt with it
all ok even though he knows no one. He managed to visit with some people in
spite of them being strangers. It was so noisy that we did not stay too late,
plus I had talked with everyone that I knew by sight or nametag. It was often a
process of getting close enough to someone’s ear so they could hear. Not
complaining here just noting the difficulty of talking in a room with all who
are trying to be heard and the volume keeps rising.
I was once again struck by how
beautiful this part of the country is. I had not been there for some years. I love
those hills covered with woods. It is not easy for me to think about leaving
this part of the Midwest.
