Highland Class of 76!! What a Kick!



Last weekend was our class reunion. It was 30 long years ago! Gary and I were highschool sweethearts! And yes, we've been married for 29 years! We waited a whole year to get married after high school! This is a fun picture of Gary and I with one of my best friends Carla. She was with me when I first met Gary at Bob Prestwich's Party!








Bob didn't go to the reunion but we met him for breakfast at Perkins the next morning. He plays the drums in a rock band. He also plays for Sunday services at Grace Luthren church. We were able to listen to him that morning. It was SOOOOO good to see him after all this time. It really has been 30 years since we'd seen him!

P.S. Hey Terri..... Bob says "HI"! He wishes you well and only the best!!




One of the most pleasant surprises was Cathy Beebe! Thank God, she's not DEAD! My father's home care nurse told me she had passed on. It was a case of mistaken identity. It was actually her sister who died. She was a bit surprised when I hugged her so tight. Then amazed that she had been mistaken for dead.



Some people really haven't changed all that much. There were some pleasant surprises as well as some disappointments. Some of the humor was done in fun..... some not. There were some strange moments.... like the seperation of people into some of the old cliches. There was the parking lot crowd. Those would be the ones drinking beers out of coolers outside. Then there were those who hung in the middle between the parking lot and inside. Then there were those who boldly hung out inside and outside..... hmm...... I'm not sure about the 40th.

I'm glad it's over and we won't have to think about it for 10 more years.

It was worse than that! We didn't tell them we were leaving town until we got in the car. We took Steph to a friend's house for the night and knew Ryan was too exhausted from Football to cause trouble. They didn't have time to plan anything! We were home 28 hours later! ~hee hee~

Yup.... just a little bit o'weight but NOT ENOUGH!!
