We just had our 50th high school reunion, out of 135 we have 38 who have passed on. Several murders, couple of suicides, lots of cancer and car wrecks. We had 58 show up for the reunion, which I thought was pretty dang good, from as far as Alaska, Montana and Wyoming, a lot now in FL, many local.
We had a tight class in '72, small West TN town, took a State Championship in football, made it to State in basketball.
My two best friends were gone in five years, one drunk car wreck, one self inflicted gunshot wound, such a pity, those two guys were stars in high school.
