Issues Index | Next => I hated high school, but I've been to most of the class reunions. Thirty-five years ago I was a miserable misfit, and some of the folks that will be at the reunion in July were the ones that made me miserable. But it was an intense time of feelings, not to mention hormones, and like those who have survived a battle I find myself longing to visit with the other survivors. This comes up today because I've been working a little on the website for the reunion; the list of those that can't be located, the names of those who have died, the surprising fact that a third of our class stayed in the town that most of us couldn't wait to leave. But a lot of us will be back for the reunion.
If you don't believe in ghosts, you've never been to a family reunion. As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead. Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection. Reunion after long separation is even better than one's wedding night. The future is built on brains, not prom court, as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you'd never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools. Never go to your high school reunion pregnant or they will think that is all you have done since you graduated.
