I'm still contemplating about going to my 10 year reunion, which would be in '05. There's people I would love to see again, and others I was glad to get away from.

I'll probably end up going, I dunno.

My 20 year is next summer in Dallas. Because I graduated overseas, and there were only 26 in my class, they combine reunions - so next summer is the reunion for Kwajalein High classes 80-85, plus anybody else from Kwaj that wants to go. I thinking about it. I'm still in touch with two friends from high school, if one or both of them is going I might do it to.

I don't think I'll be going to my 10-year next year. I keep in touch with the people I want to already. There are a couple people I might like to find out how they're doing... but I just imagine it's kind of a "and what have YOU been doing?" question-fest. There were a lot of competitive people... maybe they've outgrown it, maybe not, but I don't want to take the chance.
Chris, did you know anyone with the last name Fierston while you were living on Kwajalein? (not in h.s., but earlier)

I skipped my 5 year reunion because they failed to find me and invite me, and when the 10th rolled around, I said "If I can find my favorite 2 classmates on my own, then I don't have to go." I found them, and didn't go!

I finally went to my 15th and had the time of my life. (Please, no Dirty Dancing references) There were still a few people whom I really missed and wanted to catch up with, and we had a blast. There was one particular guy whom I wanted to see because he was just the most progressive person in our class.....has his hair all moussed up like Robert Smith and was pretty brilliant. Well, I spotted him and ran up to him, begging for details of his presumably exciting life, and I was incredibly disappointed to find that he could not form cohesive sentences. He wasn't drunk, but must have lost some serious brain cells in 15 years. I wandered away, really unsure of what he'd been doing all these years, and then I danced like a fool to "Rock Lobster" with the girls I used to eat lunch with.

I will definitely go to my 20 year reunion. I left this reunion thinking that we should do it every year, that's how great it was. And I HATED my high school!

Go to your reunions with a very open mind.

I hated high school and didn't really like most of the people there. Still... I was contemplating going to my 10th, but then they had it at a ridiculous time of year. On a boat. So... I didn't manage to make up to MA for it.

Monica, the name Fierston does not sound familiar. However, I was on Kwaj for only 2 years, (83-85).

I have a 10-year coming up in 05. I'm not sure what to expect, or even how to act! I'd like to go, and have only kept in touch and remained friends with two people...it should be interesting!
