I went to our 10th, and it was just like high school, me and my buddies made a couple of laps around the building talking to folks, then disappeared for our own party.

I've kept up with those guys to this day, and we get together, along with some college buddies, once a year. Been doing that for nearly 30 years now. This year is my 50th and I will go. I think it will be fun, and there are a few people I hope to see. About 20% of our class has passed away, which seems like a lot.

Its kind of fun to see who got more attractive and who fell off, and catch up with some people you might not ever see again.

Lots of nostalgia-fueled bean slapping (we aren't flicking at this age, we are slapping that thang) going on if you're into that kind of thing as well.

I went to the 10 year one and it was what I expected; a lot of attendees and catching up with people I hadn't seen since school. The 20 year one wasn't very special, eye opening at the changes (good or bad) in the way people looked. Mostly people talking about their kids or jobs. Haven't gone to any since.

I went to the first and remembered why I hated most of them back in school. Haven't attended any since.

What say you about High School reunions?

I've always enjoyed them - seeing old friends that are not normally within reach. Have been surprised about the success of some and unrealized expectations of others - but always a productive rehash of 'good ol days.'

My last was my 60th and not too many there. 70th coming up next year and may not go. The last really enjoyable one was 50th - most of my good friends were still there.

Everything is now very different - different buildings, different locations, different atmosphere.

just got back from mine, really good turn out, had a great time, a bigger turnout than our most recent couple of reunions, I suppose because not only have the kids grown up, most everyone's grandkids are old enough to where they could tear themselves away now

Just had our 20th. Was a good time.

I enjoyed both my 10th and 20th. I had a lot of good friends in high scholl that I enjoyed catching up with. Numerous that that was the only time I've seen them in the past 20 years and we fired back up like we just got out of high school. Was nice seeing old girlfriends as well that hadn't seen in a while. Had an after party at a friends house that was a good time too.

Was fun messing with my wife talking about the ones I hooked up with.

I went to the 10th. A bunch of people had come out, but I was busy chasing my old gf. 20th was neat to see all my old friends. Skipped 30 and 40 is this fall. Going to see some old friends. I really only keep up w a couple of guys I’ve known since 1st grade. We had 363 in my class so hard to know everyone.

We have one every five years. So the five year reunion was fun bc we were all still very young but had grown up some. 20 year was fun. I missed 15 and 25. I go if I have nothing else to do.

If you can see some old friends you never get to see because life gets in the way, then go.

Went to my 40th back in 2021. I was a complete unknown (as I should have been). It was entertaining.

Never been to one. I am still friends with several people I went to high school with. I graduated with about 600, and the vast majority of those people I would not recognize if I saw them.

The people I liked I keep up with, the rest Im not concerned with their daily lives.
