Lunch with classmates

[coachg]

Some of my classmates from our high school class of 1975 met for lunch yesterday. Relived some old football memories and dumb stuff we did back in the day . Climbing water towers , rolling yards , fights etc . 7 guys out of 8 that live close enough to get together. One is doing some treatments and needs to stay out of crowds and germs . We compared current medical ailments and came to the conclusion that getting old sucks !

Yup... had our "Class of 75" reunion this past summer. I was surprised how OLD everybody ELSE looked!! I don't look forward to when I start to get old... but don't expect that to happen for at least another 15-20 years.....................................

Once a month a group of guys get together for breakfast that all went to High school together. Started 4 years ago 8 wrestlers, vibe changed now there's 30 or so. I don't go anymore.

I went to my 40 year class reunion. I remember thinking as I walked back to my car that if they have another one in another 40 years I might go. Those school years weren't much fun and I have no friends or people I want to see from them.

I went to my Class of '75, 50 year reunion in May. I was the only guy left with any hair! 2 gals hadn't changed much at all, and one guy hadn't except he didn't have as much hair. I was shocked at how old the rest looked! I realized I was now the same age as old people! LOL. 47 out of our class of 130 were no longer with us. That's counting 3 who had died before graduation, and one boy that drowned at the graduation party. :(

I have a group of 3 friends who have been close for well over 50 years. The four of us make a point to get together for a weekend at least once a year. I realized that we were getting old about 10 years ago when we were all walking somewhere and all we were talking about was the medications we were each on.

First guy on the left had an accident a few weeks back turning into a fast food parking lot . As he got out of his truck the passenger gets out cussing him and calling him an old man and wanting to fight . Then the driver a female gets out calling him an old papa and telling him he doesn’t need to be driving. Thankfully the po po showed up before anything serious happened. He was the toughest meanest one of our group for sure . He said he never realized he was old till that .

We have a group of about 2o from class of 74 that get together usually twice a year. I drive up to Kansas for these. One of My classmates raises gelbvieh bulls so the classmates usually plan around my trip up for cattle. It's always fun but we have lost several in the last few years. I actually enjoy the visits now more than I did 20 years ago.

I think there was 19 in my graduating class. There has been a reunion the last couple years. They always have it the last of May and I told them if it is hay weather I want be there and it was. One year there was 4 and the next 3 showed up, I think. Several are not around, a couple dead I know of and a couple I know in the hay field like me, and some didn't know.

@coachg is at the head of the table because he and his wife control the town. They are about to become an Alabama political dynasty!

There was 673 in my class. At that 40th reunion there was a board with pictures which said gone but not forgotten. There was 30 or 40 pictures most of them I had no idea who they were. When they sent out invites to the 50th there was about 200 who they were unable to reach because nobody had an idea where they were. I am now a 9 hour drive from the old home town.

Gosh that's a huge class. I grew up in a town of about 3000, think our class was maybe the largest they've ever had, and we had 172 graduating I think. Town has grown in overall population, but is becoming more of a bedroom community for the nearest "larger town"... typical graduating class today is around 40... but they've got a school that's about 3 times as big as it was when we were going. Mostly ball fields and sports related gyms and such. Ridiculous.

Puyallup WA. It was the only nigh school at that time. About 2,000 students and no freshmen. Just grades 10 to 12. They were in the process of building another one at that time. Now they have 3 high schools. Right next door to Tacoma and only 30 miles or so south of Seattle. Was in the process of turning from a sleepy little farm town to wall to wall houses.

My school had about 800 in my graduating class. As far as I know I was the only student with livestock. I'd show up at girl's houses on a horse and they wouldn't know what to think. Not a lot in common with most kids except those that got into cars. We thrashed a lot of tires back then.

50th was last year. Didn't go. Haven't been to any of them. Didn't care for many of them then, and have no reason to pretend to now.

The Judd Ranch?

No this friend lives in Peck, a little spot by wichita just a mile or so from that casino. He does buy a lot of straws from Judd though, my bull is by trade secret on of Judd bulls.
