In reply to the discussion: Anyone have any good (or bad) high school reunion stories? I'm about to go to mine... [View all]femmocrat
(28,394 posts)7. I stopped going when I could no longer read anyone's name tags.
I think that was the 30th.
Our class had its 50th recently. I didn't go. It would have involved staying in a hotel and putting the dogs in a kennel. Plus the cost of the evening and clothes, hair appointment, etc. I just couldn't justify the expenses to see people who I barely knew 50 years ago.
On a positive note though, our 15th reunion was a lot of fun. Not that many people went and it was very laid-back. I guess it depends on how many decades have passed.

You waited 'til the 50th to go to one! Wow! What made you decide to go to that one?

We just had our 50th. I decided not to go because so many of my class are now rabid Trump

Thanks! The organizers hired a band, so I think it's gonna be too loud for any political discourse

The most embarrassing thing was not being able to recognize certain people.

I toyed with going to my 40th in 2014. I would have had to travel across the country.

I have found that the class reunions get better and better over time.
