It's Reunion Season once again and here, in southeastern VT, that means Alumni Parade. I don't know if they do these anywhere else but I was told once that they are only held here. I know of three schools that have them. We have a big parade through town on Sunday afternoon after graduation. Any class that wants to can have a float, ride in cars, whatever. It starts with the oldest class and ends with the new graduates in their caps and gowns. Usually the 5 yr classes, at least, have floats unless it is the early classes then usually some group with old cars will volunteer to drive them. This year is my Dad's 70th year out and my 45th. I'm not sure if I'm taking Dad for his reunion banquet or not, but I'm going to mine on Sat nite. Don't think I'll be dancing though. Ruth At 11:58 PM -0400 6/13/05, Vee L.

Ruth, A parade sounds great. What a wonderful school tradition, one I hadn't heard about. Would you might letting us know how it turns out this year. Thanks.
