I went to my 25th last year and could have written almost exactly this essay afterwards.

I went to my 20th and I was shocked at the number of divorces (some of my classmates had been divorced multiple times). I was also surprised by how different everyone looked; how much weight folks had gained and how ordinary their lives appeared. In high school, I thought it was a pretty remarkable group of kids, yet at the 20th reunion, very few had made major accomplishments. I realize that I'm a generation ahead of you, and the changing times might account for some of this. But I've never been back to another one.

I went to the 20th and the 30th. I did NOT attend the 40th. Maybe I'll go to the 45th or 50th...who knows? We were such a small class back then (53, I think) and have lost a good 20-25% so far and another 15% or so have disappeared off the planet.

I did enjoy the two I went to.....but....I really don't miss anybody. The couple of people I was close to...I live with one and the other died in her early 20's.
