The Palmerton High School Class of ’60 held its 61st reunion today. We had planned to hold it last year, but Covid.... We probably should have postponed it again, since a number of classmates with medical issues decided not to attend. On the other hand, six classmates have died since the last reunion, so we didn’t want to wait another year.
We are not looking all that great. At 78 and 79 the youthful vim and vigor have been gone for decades. Nobody flirted with old high school flames, nobody got drunk, nobody was bragging about their wonderful jobs, since everybody is long since retired.
I think we may have more reunions down the road, but I don’t believe they will be the formal type with a sit-down lunch. (In the past it was a dinner, but many of us don’t drive so well at night so this one was a lunch.)
