Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Losing Classmates.

This is one of the saddest situations I know.
Two mothers of my classmates have buried their husbands, and children.
Both ladies are still living, in their 90's and closest relative is a grandchild or in law.

I remember hearing that Patty Bolen was killed in a car wreck about 2 months after HS graduation.

My 50th class reunion is here this July. I didn’t like school much and most of the kids even less. I won’t be going to the reunion, I have no idea how many are dead, never really thought much about it…

Thats kinda sad.

I am with Shrapnel. I left for a different life that agreed upon us to become distant. All good folks for sure.

I can see it if you move far away....maybe.


I hated school....but I got along with most everybody.


Had our 20th last summer.


Dont know...seems like relationships and connections are all we have left.

Mine seem to be dropping like flies. Most are 73.

You and Bill are losers.

35th and it's September, otherwise, you could have written that for me.

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.

There was only 15 in my graduating class. Sadly 1 was killed in a car wreck and 3 have passed away.

graduated '64. Close to 150 dead now out of a class of 586. On the FB class site, it's like one a day

No crying here. Seniors strutting down senior hall hoping to get noticed by one of the cool people.

What’s sad is how people relate their whole life to when they graduated high school. I didn’t even go to graduation. When school got out, everyone looked around and I was gone. It was like closing the door on a bad dream.

If you couldn’t tell, I didn’t like school much. All the cool people are adults or dead and what they did after high school is of no concern for me.

I do know that all the jocks that went to college, couldn’t drink any more beer than I could and none could beat me in a foosball game down at the “St George And The Dragon” where everyone went for dime time on Tuesday nights and Friday afternoon club.

In case anyone wonders, I won’t be going to the reunion…

Anyone from school that I wanted to be in contact with I still am. We didn't organize a 10 yr, we tried a 20 yr six people showed up. There were a few smoking hot classmates that I wouldn't mind finding out how time treated them.

Seems appropriate

I dont go to reunions anymore. All those old people want to talk about is their medical issues and operations. HEY, we are on this side of the grass, lets talk about cars and women!

When my 40th reunion was coming up, the committee posted a list of the departed. One was a guy that lived across the street.

The real jolt was finding out my first serious girlfriend had passed, though she wasn’t from my school. She was 56. Dang.

Class of 1961, there are nine left from twenty eight.

Class of '75, we graduated 56.

I think we are down 3.

One drug related, the other 2 illness.

Listening to some here, we must be living right
