30th reunion
The guys, surprisingly, were all in shape. The
only one who was a bit heavy was just as he was in school--no change. Replace instead of thin hair and paunch, it was thin hair and goatee's. The goatee's made it difficult to spot people. Than and my failing memory. One friend survived a brain tumor and her memory was as good or better than most. Most of the women looked great too. Perhaps the ones that gained weight were the ones that didn't come to the pre-reunion party. It will be interesting to see who shows up tonight. One girl, now a teacher, told me about meeting one of our former teachers. This former teacher when she realized who my friend was screamed in shock when she found out this little girl she knew was now middle aged! I also did a bit of crew recruiting. One girl, that I knew well, brought her younger brother along. He bulked up since I knew him and he's now my height and size and a perfect fit for Etchells crew. If he works out I'll have to use a woman for foredeck to meet the weight limit--which opens up my options nicely. I'd really like to start racing HOOT next year, but I seem to be having difficulty finding crew that will commit to every race. Am I asking too much? "katysails" wrote Bart - that would make us both graduates of the class of 74 Puley middle school babies you were when I graduated in 1970... I went to the 25th...there were a few recognizable, but as you said, the guys were the hardest because of the paunch and the bald spots...I live in the same area that I grew up in, and there are relatively few of us left here, so everyone has to come in for reunions...I think I'll go to the 35th next summer... -- katysails |
