Classmates
The most important part of our reunion is to reconnect with friends in the great class of 1966. As Baby Boomers, think about what we’ve experienced, from learning cursive with cartridge pens to posting Instagram images with our smart phones; from learning about JFK’s assassination during the school day to watching the Twin Towers fall on 9/11; and for many of us, going from worrying about prom dates to welcoming grandchildren into our lives. It’s an amazing time to be living! Let’s celebrate and share.

Comment:
From the 40th reunion: As one (or at most two) of you might recall, I was a future scientist type. That ended my 2nd year at college when my organic chemistry professor called me one morning to tell me I hadn't "a snowflakes chance in hell" of passing his course. My interest turned to public affairs. I managed to graduate despite the distractions of the 60s, and (after a 4-F and some cornea surgery) ended up at law school with an eye (!) on changing the world from inside the power structure. Yeah, right. Ended up as a lifer bureaucrat and have lived for the last 25 years in the WJ school district. Was at US Labor for 30 years - mostly legislation and regulation, and occasional stints for Dem administrations in quasi-political spots, on topics that have no sex appeal inside the beltway let alone outside, but which were really cool for about 20% of the total gig. Did a short stint on capitol hill this year to help pass new mine safety legislation, and more curtain calls are always possible, but I'm more or less retired. My wife of 30+ years (years of marriage, not age...) worked at Library of Congress until she retired last year (sorry, ladies...you had your chance). Older child (she) finishing up pediatrics residency with mucho debt; younger (he) is a Russian speaking violinist waiter (don't ask) accumulating mucho debt. You'll be happy to know that last time we were in Paris, I found (and sat on) Jim Morrison's grave - and I have a picture to prove it.
