In the intervening years, I’ve been contacted by some of them. No apologies, but real, actually friendly - in a superficial way - contact. Nonetheless, when the 50th came around, I did not attend. NOT because I haven’t forgiven what happened, but because the fun memories they have are not the memories I have. I was not going in for a repeat.
