55th Class Reunion

My West Pittston High School graduation class had 79 members. On September 4, 2010, 29 of us met to celebrate the 55th anniversary of our graduation.  Sadly, 21 had already passed away.  The remaining had other commitments that kept them from attending.  Several of my good friends from high school live in the area, but won't come to the reunions. I wonder why?  I would really like to see them.

 I'm always amazed, when meeting with a group of similarly aged people, how some seem either younger or older than me.  Of course, this is a subjective view.  And looks do not correlate well with how a person feels or what they can do.  Some of the youngest looking oldsters that I know are alcoholics and we know how that destroys your system.

The drawing above was done by Richie Irace.  He also wrote lyrics for the reunion songs.  Who would have know, when we were kids,  that he had such talents.  I'm glad that he developed them.

Well, we plan on doing it again in five years.  I hope I'm still the youngest in the class. :)
