The 55th

Palmerton High School Class of 1960 held its 55th reunion today.  We had it during the daylight hours because some of us don’t like to drive at night.  Some of us have canes, walk bent over, have artificial knees and pacemakers and stents.  A number who could have attended our 50th have since died, and others were unable to attend because of medical issues.


How strange it is that these old and decrepit people don’t see ourselves that way.  We look at each other and remember the person we knew in 1960 when we graduated.  We might have grey hair or no hair, have gained weight or lost weight, but inside of us are those same teenagers we were back in 1960.

  1. Our eyes may have become old and weak but they are the eyes that sent to our brains the memories that we cherish to this day. Hope you had a great time with all of the memories.

  2. I will be going thru this coming Sat night the 19th as we celebrate our 60th reunion. I'm sure we see ourselves the same too.

  3. I had a great time at the reunion. I don't know how many more I'll be able to attend, but this one was special.
