Class of 1978 Get Together

Once Upon A Time-- forty years ago, for Heaven's Sake-- I was a kid. We were all kids. Of course, we had just graduated from High School, so we thought we were all grown up, but the truth is, we were kids.

Sigh.

It doesn't seem like forty years.

There was a formal Class Reunion earlier this summer. It was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I am told that a good time was had by all who were able to attend. 

I was not one of those people. I had too many irons in the fire to add another trip and spend money I don't have, so I had to let that reunion pass me by. I know I would have loved it had I been able to go, though.

Anyway, it turned out that I was not the only one who would be unable to attend. One of my classmates decided we needed to have a get together in our own hometown so that everyone would have a second opportunity to see old friends. Tracy Mosley Miller arranged an informal gathering, and enough people got on board with it that it went from a bring your own bag lunch to a deluxe pot luck affair.

It all started with a meet and greet at the bar downtown on Friday night, where many gathered and ate sandwiches and had a drink or two while talking and laughing over old times. 

I tried, but there were a few people there who I failed to get pictures of. Darn it. 

The next day, we were blessed to have Tim Seeley to make us a marvelous roasted pig! For those of you who don't know Tim, let me just say that cooking is one of his great joys, and he is really, really good at it.

Everyone one else showed up with dishes to share, and no one went hungry. The weather was cooperative as well--it was a cooler day than we'd had all week, so it was pleasantly warm instead of stifling.

This is just a sampling of our graduating class. Cheyenne Frontier Days is a thing around here, and happened to fall in the same weekend, so we had competition. And I'm sure many of our classmates were otherwise occupied, because summer is BUSY. 

So, for those who came, it was great to see you! For those who couldn't make it this time, we missed you and hope to see you sometime soon!

We're getting up there, so let's not wait another forty years for the next one. 

See ya, Class of 1978.

P.S. I can name names if you want me to. Just let me know.

For now, Good-night!
