Not really, though the hotel connection was down all day Saturday. On Sunday, after the final event of the reunion (a well-attended brunch) I decompressed with a long nap.
Fine reunion. All the work the committee did was worth it, and those attending were lavish with praise. Having the Friday night gathering at our former junior high school (pictured above) was worth the cost just to see the building. Although it has been extensively renovated, there were just enough reminders of its former self to bring out the junior high stories.
Best memorabilia award goes to the committee member who brought his collection of every single issue of the high school newspaper, saved through who knows how many moves. He and a couple of others also brought high school dance pictures, for an unexpected nostalgia trip.
"Remember corsages?" one man said to another, miming the tricky job of pinning a corsage onto your date's strapless gown, with her parents watching.
