I'm not sure there's a point to class reunions for my generation -- not with facebook.

Never been to one. Those kids tortured me in school and I really have no desire to see them except curiosity.

I would rate it higher than going out and having fun with friends. But nothing big to miss. It wasn't a transforming experience or anything.

my 10 year was 2 years ago.

Time was quite unkind to most of my peers.

It was rather depressing, to see the potential of youth wasted. Children (derailing any hopes of a real career), divorces, marrying guys ten+years older to avoid reality.

Myself, another attorney, and an intel engineer were the three successes out of a class of 300. Very weird to see the top 10 in the class turn out to be stay at home moms or burn-outs.

Thank god I went away to college and thank god I didn't stay involved with a girl from my hometown. yikes.

Last year was the first time, 10 years has passed since I last saw most of them. Still recognized those from my class (it was four classes that year), but had a hard time recognizing those from the other classes
In a few months we will have an 11th year reunion

None of our teachers joined the party though

My 20th is coming up. Don't see any point in going, tho, as thru the very few contacts I still have only a couple of dozen plan to attend.

It's funny how time changes memories.
At ours there were quite a few girls that came up to ming or I and said how cool they thought we were back in the old days.

We were geeks that they wouldn't give us the time of day.

I guess still having all our hair, being tall and still slender, and wealthy made their memory fuzzy.

And it was entertaining to see all the old popular jocks, bald, fat and working for streets and sanitation.

I couldn't be bothered to go to either my 10th HS or my 10th college (despite living 1/2 hour from the college). I'm still friends with the people I want to see. The rest... no big deal, but I just didn't care.
