Taking a Long Walk Down Nostalgia Lane

This weekend I am getting together with some old college classmates and unlike depictions I’ve seen in many movies I doubt it will be filled with angst.

It is the 50th anniversary of my university’s newspaper and to honor the event the Communications Department organized a reunion of all its former staffers.

I haven’t attended any school reunions. As for high school, that wouldn’t happen since I’m a high school drop-out. I seriously doubt that class reunions are organized for junior colleges. And my university was so big and fragmented that a class reunion would be very unlikely.

So a reunion of the university newspaper’s staffers on a historic anniversary is probably the closest things I’ll get to attend a real class reunion.

My class was the class of 1977. We actually had a pretty good class.
