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

Sound like a bunch of folks here are at or near the 50 year era. 1972 seems like yesterday. Almost scary but its been a good run. Still cant decide if I wanna see any of those people or not, I do keep in touch with a couple, most of the guys I hung around with are gone now.. Closer to the end than the beginning is not all bad

My 40th was last year.

Melissa Brown called me about the 20th one with her chirpy little voice phone call.
Always reminded me of the little chickens mom in the fog horn leg horn cartoon anyways...

"No interest sweetie"...
Tell everyone I said "Hello" and I hope they ain't living in their dead relatives inheritance homes and seen something in life beyond Penobscot county..

Take me off the list for any further ones.

Said "Bye Bye" and hung up....


That's how I roll...
On my own......

A Dodge Dart with a 340? I remember seeing some of those back in those days but they were always in my rear view mirror.

The 440 Cuda is a different story, but you have to remember the muscle car era started with the GTO. But by 1970, there were a dozen or more cars that would stomp the Cuda…

I moved away one year out of high school,...didn't see any of them until my tenth reunion in '84,.....didn't know them, they didn't know me.

I can't see any reason to do see them again 40 years later.

My 45 year reunion is in a couple of months. Seems like we have lost quite a few in the last five years.

I went to a small school in a small town. My graduating class was 29. I didn't like school much, some of the most miserable years of my life, but the class was a good bunch of kids. I've seen a number of them off and on over the years. Most of them have done pretty well. Most of them were noticeably better off than I in school, better home lives. We had out 50th reunion 6 years ago. I enjoyed going. Kind of like the fantasy reunion for me; had at least two people tell me I looked better than I did in high school and that was true. Had my absolutely gorgeous wife on my arm who was just a baby when we graduated. (One of my classmates was her favorite HS teacher in the '80's.) Everybody up there knows us, knows how accomplished she is and that I've got the world right by the ass. Always wanted to go to my 50th HS reunion like that, probably something to do with overcoming my inferiority complex. Can't wait for the 60th.

Very cool. Thank you for sharing the story and the pictures.

I am not afraid of anyone. But am certainly disgusted by many in a major way. Hell there is a good chance a few of us would find you quite disgusting.

I skipped mine… bastards wanted something like $250 a head…

I think it is cool that this went to the cars of that era. I drove a chevy vega wagon but pumped gas for a living. I saw them all at the pumps. A lot of them had the filler behind the back license plate. I think that is where I got all my Drain Bramage from sucking in that premium fuel while filling them up!

I have only been to one reunion. My 60th will be in a few years. Like Shrapnel, I doubt if I attend. It is mostly a gathering of old jocks remembering they were legends in their own minds. Most of my old pals are dead or not going so nothing missed.

Speaking of nuns - I failed Catechism in 5th grade!

Graduated HS in 1970. Most of us are turning 70 this year.

Went to mine and was disappointed how old the bitches were.

Just like Al Bundy…
