I was nerd to the max. My future wife was one, too.
Still working at 62, have most of my health and all of my faith.
Reunions are out of the question; let the former jocks and stars attend and one-up each other, it’s no fun with no nerds present.
Starting to attend more and more funerals of former cool guys.
“Time wounds all heels”.
The first reunion I went to was number 45. I thought I would see what happened to everybody. It was fun to see the really cool kids whose lives really tanked after High School and then see the nerds who have done well.
In High School I would have given my right arm to have traded places with some of these people. I thought they had the world on a string. I have to say I was not one of the popular people. It is interesting now that I would not even consider trading places with any of them. Some of their lives have been so wasted. They are envious of me. I think that is just so funny. You just don’t know what you have so often.
Hubby and I graduated from high school the same year, but in different towns; we didn't meet until two years later. We married in 1975, moved away in 1976, and neither of us have attended any reunions, since they were always during the school year, and we couldn't get away.
I DO want to get to our 40th reunions, next year. I've connected with some of my classmates on Facebook, so it will be fun to see them again, after so long.
SOME of them.
