It was so wonderful to see and connect with past classmates at this last reunion. I don't know if I can explain the feeling of looking into the eyes of those that you had your first school and social experiences with (elementary school - Lakewood for me) and those that you laughed with, cryed with, studied with, or just admired from afar (high school). That connection is still there and is strong. If you put it into the perspective of an adult life, it is such a valued and amazing shared experience that we had with each other. Also, the fact that we were having to build and create a new tradition at a new school was a struggle that we all experienced; we were, indeed, pioneers together. I hope those of you who couldn't come or didn't come because it seemed that it may be silly or meaningless will reconsider and plan on attending the 40th reunion for the class of '68 next summer. I think you will be pleasantly surprised, and anyway, I would love to see you. Wendy
