As I was standing in line to get my nametag, I overheard one old fart say to another: "What are all these young folk doing here?"
Aside from the 4 teenagers that were there to receive scholarships, indeed, our class members were the youngest people there. Youngest by SEVERAL years. It's the first time I've been referred to as "young" in quite a long while. I think I may have to attend the alumni dinner every year, just so I'm not the oldest person in the room as it seems to be the case more and more often these days.
The alumni officers took turns speaking, and Mr. Milman (as you'll recall, our jr. high principal) took a turn at the podeum. I guess a few of our classmates were talking a bit too loudly, because at one point, he shot our group one of those looks that I remember so well from our junior high days. He hasn't lost his touch.
Here are a few photos of the reunion dinner and fellowship afterwards (everyone please forgive me if I've spelled any names incorrectly):
