Your Quotes for 16 July 2005 - Memory

Last weekend was, as you'll recall, my 35-year high school reunion. Much as I've tried to repress certain memories of those years, it was delightful to spend time with those I shared them with, and who aren't about to let me forget our shared embarrassments. But there were good times as well, and we relived a lot of them, sharing stories and passing around old photographs.
