I did my 30th and 35th. I went by myself. Wife had no desire to go w/me because she would not know anyone since we grew up in different states. Both times it was fun but 2 was enough for me. But she drug me along to hers because she didn't want to travel that far alone.

I went to my 20 year. It was good, even though I still lived in the same area I hadn't seen or interacted with most of the people there. My 30 year is coming up in August, I am very much looking forward to it. Because of Facebook I feel more connected to people than I even did in HS.

I took my wife with me from Florida to California for the 40th. After dinner, we left, and I remarked to my wife, "Why did we come?" Saw only about 4 people I had known out of a class of 864; and of those, only one I had actually known during high school. One girl I had been in 5th grade with had lost her husband a couple of years earlier. In front of my wife, she told me, "If I had known you would grow so tall, I could have really gone for you!" Not a memorable night at all.

Went to 20th and it was okay ... 50th coming up next year but if they have it, think I'll skip it and wait for 100th

The exact same sentiments here. In my opinion, Class Reunions only breed a source of gossip, ridicule, and fake conversations. Most people talk about what everyone became later in their Adult Lives. The more prosperous ones like Doctors, Lawyers, and successful Business People will still look DOWN upon the COMMON FOLKS. I will agree that there are moments when Memories are rekindled, but I really think that the Negative results outweigh the Positive results. Just My thoughts.
