Catching Up

10 years is fast approaching. We are trying to finalize plans for the reunion this year. Right now we are looking at having a relatively casual get together in September (the weekend of Street Fair) likely at someone's home (to be determined shortly) with a barbecue or carry-in or something of that nature. We figure this will be cheaper and there will be fewer regulations on food and drink. In the meantime I have decided to make a post to try and get some open dialogue going with classmates. Have fun with it, and fill out the following questionnaire.
1. Name
2. Married, engaged, taken, single, divorced
4. Spouse/Significant Other Name
3. Kids, names and ages
4. Occupation
5. Location
6. Most exciting thing to happen since graduation
7. College(s) attended
8. Degree(s) obtained
9. Are you where you expected to be at our 10 year mark? Explain.
10. What would your ideal 10 year reunion be?
11. Do you anticipate attending our 10 year?
12. Where do you see yourself in another 10 years?
13. Best high school memory?
14. Biggest regret in high school?
15. Favorite teacher?

Have fun with your answers, it is just a way for us to try to reconnect with each other after 10 years, more to come as we figure more things out! Thanks!
