In three months it will have been 50 years since the SPX class of 1964 graduated. Yikes.
It makes me wonder where those other 40+ people are today.
Over the course of life we become members of various groups through school, work, hobbies….as well as religion, nationality, politics, fandom. Some of the memberships are important and others are simply coincidence, but they all shape us in one way or another.
A grammar school class may not be all that important to anyone. We were just forty-some kids thrown together by chance and circumstance. And yet, on this 50th anniversary, I find myself wondering a little. We spent so many hours together over those years …. funny and a little sad to think that graduation day would be so final in that respect.
I was sad when I heard some years ago that Sr Felicia had passed away. I would have loved to run into her when I was an adult to be able to tell her what a lasting impression she made…..and thank her.
I'm not a reunion guy, per se, but I would sure like to run into some of my classmates by chance. Not living near Chili anymore certainly reduces the chances of such encounters …. so I will just say here: Happy 50th Anniversary, best wishes, and thanks for the good times.
