Sometimes Found is a Good Thing

Have you ever checked out those reunion sites? The ones that tell you someone is looking for you? I'm sure we've all wanted to reunite with old friends, lovers, lost family, old teachers or classmates. I thought they were stupid, a scam, a hoax, just a way to get your money, but you really CAN find people. The people planning the event I'm about to tell you about didn't have much info, so they went to reunion.com and found 15 out of the 24 people they were looking for.

We recently had our class reunion, Class of '79, (God! I'm old as dirt). Anyway, fortunately, everyone there was the same age. I was apprehensive at first, didn't know what to wear, worried about my hair, all the same stuff. Then we arrived. It was held at a camp, one of the classmate's nice, fixed up camp, and it was a blast! It was relaxed and casual and everyone wore shorts, sweatshirts or jeans. There were girls in pony tails and guys in hoodies, it was THAT casual. We all brought a covered dish, had paid $20.00 eacg for booze and extras, like condiments and buns and stuff. Pretty cheap night, dontcha think? It was amazing. No high heels you can't walk in on a dance floor that's slippy. No fancy dresses trying to impress the other fancy dresses. It was very, very nice. We did karaoke. We did shots. We listended to music from the 70's and had a wonderful time. So wonderful that we actually had another the next year! How many people can honestly say that?! We laughed and sang and talked the night away. The other nice part of this reunion was the fact that if your got too toasted, there were about 10 beds to crash in. You must try this idea. Forget stuffy restaurants or banquet halls. There weren't any door prizes or gifts given away. We had a journal that people could write in to update physical and email addresses and add little comments. Have a good time, have your reunion at a camp!
