After much thought I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with Gary68. Go out and take one for the team. We are all cheering for you [emoji38]
 
Several years,ago I drove my elderly Mom to her 60th high school reunion. Rented a new Avis car, had to tote along Mom's oxygen concentrator.
We did the event, Mom was one of three there for the 60th. The event was also for the 50th. A lot more of them!
We visited one of Mom's old family friends, who was 99 at that time! She was having mobility problems, but was still mentally sharp.
Mom and I had a great time. Two years later, Mom passed away.

I have not gone to any of my reunions. High school was not that much fun. Nothing for me to really go back to.


Great song! I did not realize Harry Chapin died in 1981? He was a good folk singer.
 
After 102 years, my HS just has an all class reunion. 

Never been to one.  No desire to bring up the non glory days of my youth.  I spent more time working than going to classes.  I was not a jock, so I did not matter.  Nobody I want to see there, just bad memories.  All the good ones happened out of school.

I can relate.
 
I hadn't heard 'Taxi' in years. Thanks.

I doubt I'll go, like most I made friends after high school and I don't want to make my entrance on a mobility scooter, call me vain I guess. No one there would have a clue why and I wouldn't want to explain.

I think you should do exactly what you want about this reunion.  Doesn't sound like you'd enjoy yourself so why go anyways.  If you need some entertainment that night wear a good Halloween mask and sit in your chair so you can see your neighbors reaction when they take too long of a look in your window when they pass by!  Free entertainment in the comfort of your own home...cain't beat it with a stick! :)

If you dont want to go, dont go. I totally understand the vanity angle. I gained a lot of weight after HS and didnt want to go to any reunions. Later, I got over caring about what others think of my body so I was able to go to reunions and enjoy them. 

But now, one of the high schools I went to is having an all class reunion weekend right when I have a Kentucky house boat vacation planned so I have to miss it and I  find that I am ok with that. I am pretty much in touch with all the folks from HS that I liked on Facebook. Even my old flame who dumped me and who it took me years to get over. Heh, we are so different now that I am grateful now that he dumped me then even though part of me will always love him.
 
I thought about going, I tried to remember anyone I've had contact with in the last 15 years and failed. I think me and the cat will stay home finish packing my stuff.

Thanks all for the replies.

You can always have a reunion right here , anytime !
 
I would like to see Bob or someone try to organize a gathering other than winter or summer. A meet up place in the middle where more members could show up. Might not be possible but it would be nice to meet some of the far-flung members.

The apartment may be a moot point, I just got a smart ass answer from the asst.manager and the manager is on the way down. And this is after I have taken my morning Xanax.

Nice feeling to know you can put your shit in your trailer and say sayonara if the manager is a dick.
 
Oh, and welcome back Queen, we missed you.

Yup yup , you can escape on the scooter before anyone else arrives too !
