... and did you/will you attend your reunion?

No. Even if I wanted to, which I don't, my high school is now 2500 miles away.

Class of 1969 about 450 in class. I've been to all and they were all ok. I still live in my hometown so it wasn't a great effort to attend.

My 70th is coming up in 2029... not very many classmates remain, even now, as you might imagine.

The Zen saying "If you sit on the river bank long enough, all of your enemies will float by." Is true... the sad part is that all of your friends will also.

This year would have been my 72nd; no idea whether there was actually any sort of reunion. I have never had any contact with anyone who attended that high school (A. B. Davis, Mount Vernon, NY) except for one "six degrees" incidental encounter in Puerto Rico with a classmate who happened to be the son of an executive for the company that I was working for at the time.

I still keep in regular contact with about 2 people from high school. In fact this week was mg best friend from HS’s birthday. We lost contact about 15 years ago. He didn’t get a cell phone and moved and such. Does not have social media. I reached out to his mom via Facebook but she never replied and the message I sent included mg comtact info to pass to her son. Oh well. We had about 1000 in our class. I went to the 20th and 25th because I lived in fhe same town and was a no cost gathering and 35th is coming up soon. All the hot chicks got large and none of the ugly ducks tuned into swans. Nobody famous from our class.

Not sure I will travel cross country for it.

Wouldn't bother.

In my case I had graduated when I was 16. All the kids I hung out with would be in the reunion two or three years later.

Class of '78. I have no intention of going to the 50th. I am "friends" on Facebook with a few classmates but have no real conversations with them. From their posts it appears that I am a bit of a carnival freak that they perhaps like to look at once in a while, being that I support Trump's agenda and refused the mRNA jabs and have excoriated things like mask mandates and the lockdowns.

Were I in frequent contact with old friends I might go, but then there wouldn't really be a reason to since I would already be in regular contact with them.

One girl I had a crush on but she was a Swedish Bikini Team honorary member and was always dating older guys who owned cars. At our 10th reunion she directly propositioned me. We were both married, so that became a permanent turnoff.

Didn't attend any of the reunions of the 3 high schools I attended. I only remain in contact with like 5 people. One is my wife and two are SIL's. My wife attended the 2nd high school I went to but she was two years behind me and we actually met in college. Her sister was in the same junior class as I was but we never interacted. Moved my senior year to the anus of California. High schools years were rough and I have no urge to see any of them.

Class of 1979, never attended any of my high school reunions. Never once occurred to me. My wife had attended two of hers, they were shitshow "interesting" to her . And I did not escort her to those.

class of 81, was approached about attending a couple, but did not,

wife (class of 84, different school area) did 2,
I went with her,

interesting for sure,

Yes, I attended my 50 year reunion (class of '62). It was amazing how Father Time had brought a few of the high and mighty down to street level. After seeing the two or three girls in my class that were considered "beauties", I again thanked God for my unanswered prayers - their beauty was gone, but not their snarky attitudes.

Since my class only had 31 members, it was a small grouping. I suspect we will never have another, but if we do, we could hold it at a couple of booths at The Waffle House.

Class of '72 here, I never attended one.

I’m went my 40th. I got to talk with some old friends who I hadn’t seen in 20 yrs (last one I attended). The cheerleader and jock group sat by themselves and tried to ignore everyone else.

I found it fascinating how the old clicks still existed. I really did expect people to mingle at the beginning, and then sit with friends during dinner. Nope. It was like high school all over again just with nicer cars, beer bellies, balding heads, too much Botox and silicone.

I recently skipped my 45th class reunion, last I went to 15 or so years back. I’m sorta ambivalent on going, but don’t put it at highest priority.

It’s a 6 hour drive, plus this year I’d have to get July 4th off work, another hurdle. On top of that I normally only associate with a very few.

21 of 106 showed up.

Class of '82. I was invited to the 10, 20 and 30th reunions but didn't go.

Being from Florida and with the same ne'er do well in charge of them, it was no surprise that each of those reunions were being held at a shitty dive bar near the beach. I understand the 40th was held at a park on a Saturday.

Attended our 50th last year class of '75. Always interested in catching up. A lot of "them" didn't age well.

class of 82 . drove 350 miles thru the snow to attend our 10 year reunion. Did stay and visit with my parents for a few days. Reunion? same guy jerks and better than everyone stuck up men and women never changed . I will never go back to a class reunion . did see two girls i dated . one my sister said she had, lets say ,,issues.. the other had 5 kids .glad i had joined the Army after High School and missed out on all of that

For a few years, I leaved in/near my hometown so I attended 5-year and 10-year. The 5-year was fun and I'm glad I went. 10-year sucked donkey balls due to the "it has to been kid friendly" crowd ruining any chance of having an actual conversation (i.e. kids were either misbehaving or interrupting) and it has to be inexpensive (i.e. froze our ass off at a park pavilion in the Upper Midwest in October).

Since then I haven't lived in the same time zone as my hometown and I'm certainly not spending money on airfare or using vacation to go to a class reunion. This year would be 35 years (i.e. class of 91), and once again zero plans to learn of any details let alone attend.

Class of '77. Have gone to a couple of them over time; the 25th was the first, and it sucked. The last two (40 and 45) were not bad at all. Several of the people I would most want to see have now passed already but may attend the next one.

High school class of '72. Never went back. Large high school; I was in JROTC ('69-'72). We weren't popular, for the most obvious reason. I keep in touch with just one classmate.

Just had my college 50-year reunion last month. Superb affair; enjoyed the heck out of it.

Had my 45th (Class of 1981) back in April at an alumni weekend. A small school; there were only 38 in my graduating class. But I was the only one in my class that was there. :-(

I contacted a couple of classmates who live near me, but they both had other plans that weekend.

Hopefully we can have more enthusiasm for the 50th.
