The 40th Reunion was held October 27, 2007 at the Skyline Club at the Travis County Expo Center. A good time was had by all listening to the jukebox play 60's music, eating a mexican buffet and dancing in the conga line (you know who you are)!
The next reunion will be in 2012....stay tuned!!
If you are NOT coming to the reunion, you need a good excuse and a note from your probation officer or whoever else keeps you out of trouble.
The following reasons have been tried and are UNacceptable.
Excuse #1: I've gained a lot of weight!
Rebuttal: Look around!! I doubt any of us could get back into our jeans from high school any more.
Excuse #2: I'm a different person than I was in high school
Rebuttal: Lucky for you, we ALL are. Let's face it; we could only have improved.
Excuse #3: I don't look as good as I'd like. I (choose one or more) am bald, have wrinkles, saddlebags, grey hair and no one will recognize me.
Rebuttal: Guess what! You won't recognize anyone else, either. Using the reunion committee as a representative sample, our whole class looks like a "before" photo in a plastic surgery ad.
Excuse #4: I'm not successful. I'm not (choose one or more) a lawyer, a doctor or rich.
Rebuttal: You'll be pleasantly surprised to find how much everyone has matured. We may be plump and wrinkled (see Excuse #3, above) but we're not stupid. Money is not success. Please note that any doctors in the class are very welcome. Any lawyers will need to ask for special permission to attend.
Excuse #5: I was not in a popular clique in school
Rebuttal: Now that we're older and smarter, those cliques have dissolved just like the superficialities they were based on. The only cliques you'll notice at the reunion will be the sound of your joints as you walk around.
Excuse #6: I don't know who to talk to or what to say
Rebuttal: Don't panic. No one knows who they will talk to or what they will say. Somehow when you get there; it all falls into place, and again, the open bar is always there to help.
Excuse #7: I don't like the location / format / food / entertainment, etc. etc. etc.
Rebuttal: I think you may be missing the point. A reunion isn't about the place. It's about the people who attend. My new slogan is "It's not the menu or the venue. It's the people who show up"!
