It seems hard to believe, and I almost don't want to think about it, but come June, 2009 I will have been been out of high school for twenty five years! Goodness, where did the years go!
I graduated on June 8, 1984 with a graduating class of 96 students. Many of my classmates have moved away from Vermont, and many remain - most of the ones that stayed in Vermont are in the greater Randolph area.
Late in 2003 with the help of our class Vice President, Barb Wiggett Baumann, I started to locate classmates and build a database in order to start planning our 20th class reunion. Unfortunately 3 graduates are deceased, but we managed to locate 79 of the remaining 93. We held two events for our 20th reunion - a semi-formal dinner and music, and then a family picnic day. It was great fun and was a blast to see everyone after 20 years.
Now we are in the planning stages for our 25th reunion this year. At least this time we just need to dust off the database and start making phone calls and sending e-mails. Many have kept in touch over the years, and others are chatting each other up on Facebook - what did we do before social networking?
I am looking forward to helping plan our events for later this year, and it's always fun to see folks after many years have passed. I just can't believe I am that old!
