The last class

I know this is probably insignificant to you guys lol.. But I thought I'd share it with you..
Today is old HS' graduation day. They graduate tonight @ 7 and I plan on being there to support the friends I still have from the school.
Anyway.. This is the sad part. They are my "last class". They were 9th graders when I was a senior at that school. So as I was leaving, they had 3 more years.
I have watched a lot of them grow and become better young minds. It's been kinda an emotional time for me.
Tonight my last class leaves GHS. After tonight.. I probably will have very few reasons if any to ever return to my alma mater because there is hardly anyone I know there..
Congratulations to my class of 2004 as well as any other grads we have on the board that graduate this year!

John, speaking of one's high school...mine is across the highway from an eatery called Skyline Chili...which is famous there in Cincinnati.

Whenever
I'm with my folks on a vacation up that way it's neat to stop there and while eating...looking at the school building...sure brings back the memories...both the chili and academic years!
Through Classmates.com I re-connected with a good friend named Gary who is now an Assembly of God pastor located along Lake Erie in Port Clinton, OH.

He's married with 3 sons and a daughter.

I am on Classmates.com also.. But I am just a standard member.. Not a gold member..
My old HS is right across the street from where the Houston Astros have spring training games..
I can't believe it's taken me this long to completely give the old school up.. I still go back every once in a while, but nowhere near as much as I used too and with trying to help Cassie and all that at times, I still go back on occasion..

I'm not a Gold member either...it's too bad Classmates.com started that kind of thing...just wanting more and more $$$.

Otherwise it's a nice site.

By the way... we were the REAL FIRST class of the new millenium. I made sure the seniors my junior year knew that!

I agree Eric.. it's a very nice site..
Everytime I get an e mail that says someone new has joined I always ask myself.. "Who has joined the Classmates.com paa-ttttyyy.." {slang for party lol}
don't ask

I was confused with 2001 being the first REAL year of the new millenium for awhile...funny it doesn't start with the double 0's.

Congratulations on your graduation. It is a big BIG deal, and we are proud of you.
Remember to be genuine in your goodbyes to others who share this night with you.
As a class of 1964 graduate, I can honestly say that graduation night was the last time I saw many of my classmates.
And the next step of real life begins....
