I took my grandmother to her 50 year reunion. It was a small school to begin with, and a lot of them had died, so there weren't many people there, but it was very emotional for her, in a good way.

My Mom's 50th was about five or six months after my Dad had died. They had stayed in touch to a certain extent, but now do a lot of things together in the intervening 16 years.
It helped her begin to cope with the grief.

My thing at #50 was I don’t live in NOLA and haven’t since 1984. Kind of lost touch with most of my classmates over the years, except for a few on FB. So in my memory, my classmates were still who they were in 1967, and looked that way. However, seeing us all together for the reunion last Aug was wonderful and surreal all at once. I wasn’t totally prepared for the reality that we had all aged 50 years since - and a lot of us looked our age, or older. Plus the band was really noisy and it was really hard to hear each other speaking or have conversations beyond “this is so great!” So there was that.

In 2020 will be my 50 yr. reunion and the last one I attended was the 10th. I was surprised then how some folks had changed in that short a time, so I know I'll be blown away by the changes over the last 40 years.
I do know of at least a dozen or more that have since died and I'm sure it's quite a bit more than that since we are all in our mid to late 60's now, with almost 2 years to go before the reunion.
I know I'll be wearing a name tag because I'm no longer that skinny 145 lb. kid with dark brown wavy hair-----some of my hair waved goodbye long ago and what hasn't gone down the drain is now silver/gray.

5 year reunion is dumb.
Every one after that gets progressively better.
People grow up and quit comparing themselves to others around 25th year reunion.
Then it is fun to catch up with old friends.

I went to my 10 year and my 40 year. The 40th was a blast. Crawfish boil on the first night and a dance on the second.
It's amazing how some people are immediately recognizable (like they have the same face from childhood!) and some are completely unrecognizable. The aging process is interesting.
