    1. [PD-LIFE] My Class Reunion
    2. Richard Berkheiser
    3. Hi everyone! Well, I survived my first high school class reunion Saturday. Many of us haven't seen each other in 20 years so it was interesting and fun. It brought back a lot of memories. We were a small private school class of 23 but 13 of us were able to show up including spouses and children. We're actually old enough to have teenagers??? And grandkids???? I tried to get a count and all I could come up with was 33 people, but I'm sure there were more. I was amazed how little we've changed. My one old friend said it best. We still act the same but only in older bodies. It didn't take long for me to get reacquainted with my best friend from high school. Before long we were back in our old groove. This time his wife and kids joined in on the fun! What was funny was when my friend and I were sitting there at the picnic table trying to fill out a fill in the blank sheet of what we know of our fellow classmates. After about the first 5 minutes, I just started going down the list and filling in names. I'm sure many of them weren't gender correct. I know I put a guy's name down for "I'm three months pregnant". My friend was even worse. He slid his over to his wife and had her fill it out and she wasn't even in our class! :-) When it was time for the class group picture, we were all cutting up and making jokes and, well, acting like kids again. :-) Reality hit the fan while we were running the video from our Senior Trip in 1985. The next generation was glued to the TV screen watching everything we did! Now I own a copy of it on DVD. I cringe everytime I see myself in it. How quickly we forget! I guess our teens today don't act as bad as I thought. In fact, I think the next generation learned a thing or two from us. Our prinicpal was driving the bus and I was surprised he let us get away with all of that stuff. He was also our home room teacher. He was a great guy! :-) The Class of 1985 broke the mold and its been downhill ever since. LOL Rick B
