I went to my 10 yr. reunion in 1980 and it wasn't a bad thing. Fun to see how many of the folks had changed over that short time period.

Haven't been to one since and with the big 50 yr. one coming up in a year and a half, it just may be a hoot to give it another go.

Father time is a bitch and it changes folks for sure. I know I look NOTHING like I did back then, and I'd be surprised if any of the other people do too.

I went to my 5, 10, 15 and 20th. I had a blast each time. Looking forward to the 25th.

No need for a reunion when I talk to the ones I want to keep up with.

There was one a couple of years ago for the 32nd anniversary. I didn't make it and it was blessing. I was told that an ex was there and still didn't have anything good to say about me. She was a PITA in high school and things haven't changed.

What kind of fricking psycho holds a 32 year high school sweetheart grudge. What’s his deal? Tell the story please.

I've been to my 25, 30 and 35. Skipped the 40th.
Plus, a handful of us meet for lunch once a month.
The 30th was a two-night reunion: the first night was stag, second night included SOs.

This year would be my 20th. It still feels too soon to go back.

Never, I figure if I haven't seen you in 20 years, there's probably good reason.

Went to my 30th. I hadn’t been to any of the other ones. It was actually nice to see people I hadn’t seen in 30 years. I graduated with some pretty awesome people, and looking forward to my 40th.

I went to my 10 and had one of the funnest times I’ve had in years. A disclaimer: my class is uncharacteristically close especially for one of 200+ people. There were never a whole lot of “exclusive” groups even back in high school, and a whole bunch of us are still friends and see each other often. We closed down Pat Os on the river and then went to the casino and Burbon after. I’ll definitely be going to my 20th in 2 years.

Now my wife’s 10 was awful. It was like being back in her high school dances. Same groups all stuck together, no intermingling. Caddy bullshite from high school still being talked about. I got plastered.

Went to my 30th last year. Honestly, it was a really good time. I would say less than half the class showed up for whatever reason. If there was any pent up rage from HS parking lot fist a cuffs, it was gone the moment you see someone who is almost 50 and you realize that whatever started the feud, means nothing at this point. Everyone talked about their kids (and some grand kids) and how they hope they never have to go through with what we put our parents through!!!

The last one I had was the same weekend as the mullet toss. I went to the mullet toss instead.

Went to my wife’s 40th last night, wasn’t bad at all, small turnout with a really good setup. Of course, the large tv next to the pool had LSU’s baseball game on and that sucked

If there's a 10, why is there a 15?

Our reunions include all classes because we went to boarding school.

We are close to our teachers and devoted to our school. Our reunions are a whole weekend with different events to accommodate everyone.

A beachside bon fire Friday night, a catered but casual picnic on the beautiful grounds of the school on Saturday and a casual informal brunch on sun. As a boarding school, most people live far from the school, even in other countries so the three days are needed to assure that everyone can attend at least one event.

Skipped my tenth and thankful I did. Had to be embarrassing for alumni to have to ask the retired teachers invited to help with the tab because the idiots who were trying to make impressions were too broke to pay the bills for the affair. Actually had a former classmate complain to me later about my not being there and how they could've used my financial support. At that point I was really glad I didn't go as I wouldn't have wanted to be associated with that disaster.

Went to the 20th and was totally underwhelmed. Never attended another. Someone tried to get one going for the 40th and I didn't bite.
