Fifty years ago today I graduated high school. It was also Friday June 4 on that day. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I’ve been very lucky. Probably took ten minutes to call 42 names.

June 1970 for me... so I reckon that would be 51 yrs ago for me...
I remembering thinking about our class's 50 th anniversary reunion... way back when...
50 yrs later it didn't even cross my mind.... CV19 would have prevented it anyway, and now I live 3,000 miles away to boot.
turned out to just be a forgotten another day of the week in my world.
doubt if I would have even remembered any of those people...
but think I will dig out my HS year book and take a stroll down memory lane, recalling some of the girls I would have loved to score on, that never really happened or even had a snowball's chance in hell in happening... that would have involved a couple of redheads and a couple of blondes who miles out of my league...
Good times...

Wow. 50 years you old coot. Well I’m only at 49! 48 in my graduating class but we have lost only 6-7 members that I’m aware of.

In ‘71 I had been out of high school 7 years, the Navy 3 years, married for almost three years, and my son was a year old. 😳
I think I better go lay down and take a nap. 😂

50 years ago, I was sweating out the last few days of 7th grade.
My radio only got AM. That was okay, because I was glued to WSAI, the Top-40 powerhouse.
My record player only played 45's. Prior to '71, I had lived off what my Dad brought me. He had a deal worked out with the guy who serviced the jukebox at the bar where he ate lunch. I bought my first 45 in August Rare Earth's I just want to Celebrate.
I had a Zebco 202 fishing reel and it was my favorite possession. I was deep into my obsession with bluegills.

Yep, 50 years ago last month for me. Class of '71. A year later, June 1972, I was standing on the yellow footprints at MCRD San Diego!  "Whoa, oh, oha, oh! When we walk on this earth, we don't think about the hurt. From the war in Viet Nam, to the one who kills the Cong. What the Cong don't know, their war has just begun. Whoa, oh, oha, oh, Whoa, oha, whoa, oh!"
