Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 50 Year Class Reunion

I graduated from high school fifty years ago and scarcely remember it. I never had the slightest interest in attending any reunion(s) and had no idea they were still a "thing."

I remember that.

I’ve been to all the reunions. I loved high school, was a footballer, ran track, was way better than my home life. I enjoy seeing how the people have changed.

Football was fun, loved knocking the hell out of someone. I liked practice, drills, especially bull in the ring. They don’t let them do bull in the ring anymore. They don’t have two practices a day anymore from what I’ve heard.

There was 47 in my class, 15 are dead, going to a funeral of one of them Thursday.

The car

The arrest

The hatred for Big Sky

The letter

The trapped cat


Thread of the year!

Guys like John Burns have tried to build up their image on the Campfire. It can be done, but you need more than an AR platform rifle to do it.

My closet, though not entirely exposed, is full of epic adventures that few have dreamed of. You have to be careful how you relate those experiences so people don’t categorize you with the likes of Big Stick, who has ruined a lot of guns, but still keep your image untarnished and appear like Jim Conrad.

There is a lot of color on the Campfire, I try be colorful and still not get black and blue..

LOL, plenty of egos too.


A guy that thinks he is a big hitter on the fire isn't squat on a different forum.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Slyvestor got room temp.....

You did something different with your hair...cat pic is awesome

I graduated from a small school and maybe 20 of the class is still alive, I doubt it though.

The last high school reunion I went to was the 10 year one, as I was working close by at the time. Missed the 20, 30, 40 & 50 year ones, and you know what no one has called me. There is plans for a 55 year reunion and I am not sure I will make the time to take it in, I am thinking I have a hunting trip planned with some friends to Africa while it is on going.

The college 50 Year reunion, I received a letter last week to see if I was attending. I probable will miss that one also as we have plans for that week. The thing is all the friends that I used to run with in college have passed on, not a single one still alive. The thing is the college is having an all school reunion this year, and even if you went, you would have a slim chance of running into some of the old class mates while you attended. They only have a 2 1/2 to 3 hours all school social hour get together at the same time in the same building (field house).

Maybe, if the college were to have 55 year reunions, I may schedule to take that one in as it would coincide with a second 50 year class reunion for advanced degrees graduates and there were only about 150 of us that year, and some of those fellows would be Nice to touch base with.

I have found out you usually stay in touch with friends for life and friendship works both ways. You both call each other from time to time and it is like you never missed a beat while talking.

Nice Car....I have a little more respect for you now that I know you did not attend the reunion.

Recently, a lady I hadn't seen since we graduated in 1963 looked me up and got in touch. She's surprisingly well-preserved and active for a 77 year old. There's a pretty good possibility we might both arrive at next year's 60 year reunion on my Harley.

Nothing changed? Really? This country is a [bleep] compared to 50 years ago.

And the tires are different.

That's a badass car. Good on you for keeping it up.

Nice Pontiac and congrats Kirk on achieving 50 years after graduation.

I had a second hand 64 Lemans 326HO and powerglide, in Aquamarine. Loved the car. Dad wanted a GTO but realized mom couldn't drive a stick shift so the HO Lemans was purchased. A 389-3 speed trans gave her longer burnouts but 5mph less top end. Single 4 bbl or tri-power optioned?

Had a gal tell me I should go to my 25 year reunion when it came up, I told her I didn't like all the fuqktards in High School why would I want to go spend time with them now?

The look on her face was priceless!

Bruh. WTF? Lol!

Shrap,

All I can say is you know how to hold on to real classics. You have impeccable taste. In ski hills, too.

You should know that the best day EVER I had skiing was at Pig Sty. My last winter at Bozeman (I needed 4 credits but still took 16) I'd bought a statewide super duper pass. 1983 was a good snow year. So on Friday night, Bridger gets 28 inches, the Pig gets 20. I could either stand in line or ski, right? Turned out the Andesite side was a field of Volkswagen-sized marshmallows, SO soft and round. About four Bridger people wound up there with me, and nobody else. Never have I gotten so much easy air.

But Pig Sty still skunks.

Sweet GOAT Shrap! You, ah, didn't happen to sing under the name Bobby Goldsboro back in those days perchance?

Yes, when I wasn't driving the GTO Or the Honda Motosport...
