Cherokee's All School Reunion!

[tt]

I have never gone to any of my School Reunions since I graduated in 1974. Tonight I went down to the "Main Street Dance" in celebration of Cherokee's Sesquecentenial ( 150 th yr. Celebration ).
An event that a lot of former Cherokee Schools Alumni attended. I saw a few old class mates. But none recognized me, or acknowledged me. Same as in high school.
But then again I didn't greet them either. I figured why bother. They live happy lives without me in their lives. A phony "Hi! How are you?" just isn't worth the effort.
The few I saw looked fairly good for their age, unlike me.
In some ways not being given the acknowledgement that you exist is a good thing.
At least I didn't have to talk to a lot of people, that I have always ignored in the past.
Woo-Hoo my life is looking up!
Not!

TT,
I may not count due to the fact that I'm not an old Alumni, but I think you look GREAT for your age. If I didn't know your age I would have never guessed you at it.
And I have to agree I'd rather not be acknowledged by people who never noticed me. I'd much rather hear from the people who took the time to get to know me. (and that was a VERY SMALL GROUP) At least their brief Hello's ect. when I'm able see them are sincere.
But look at it this way, you always have my friendship and I'm proud to know you. And all your old alumni group messed up by not taking the time to get to know you.... they missed out on knowing a Fantastic person!!!

Thanks!
Sorry I made that sound like a pity party.
People always tell me that as people age, the old values and snobbishness wanes. I didn't get that impression at all last night.
Even so I enjoyed myself for the most part. I mainly went down just to people watch anyway. Sadly, Cherokee doesn't have very many good looking people to look at.

i saw at least two people i went to school with at the street dance ( class of '86 ) . one knew me and said hello 1st . outside of being in the play -little abner- together i never really knew him so little suprize i did not know who he was till he mentioned his name . the other gal i said a hi / bye to . i do not know who might/ or might not have changed. in the high school days a large number of them would not even talk to you unless you had designer names on your clothes and shoes super snobs . so not seeing many was no real loss on my part .
