“Talking About the Present, Not the Past
The 50th reunion is not about comparing anymore. Nor is it time to talk about the past as we did at other reunions.
Rather, it’s about meeting as adults with long, rich lives behind us.
We meet each other anew, fresh, like new people at a great cocktail party. We meet with compassion and love, peace and goodwill.
Now it’s time to talk about the present, how the world got to be the way it is, politics, cultural events, and how we plan to live our old age.
Like It or Not, It’s Your Tribe
Your high school class is a group of people like no other. Many of your high school classmates you’ve known since kindergarten!
That’s pretty amazing!
And for better or worse, you spent the formative years of your crucial, memorable, tortured adolescence together.
You are bound together by a collective consciousness that is precious and rare.”
