I've seen all the photographs from the reunion. Betty is as gorgeous as when we dated. The others also don't seem to have changed much. Maybe a gray hair here and a pound there, but that's about it. I wish I'd been there. I'm sure I would have had a great time remembering the pranks we played on our teachers. I'll certainly try to stay in touch with my ex-classmates, especially now that I have moved to Australia. The job shortage at home simply forced me to make drastic changes in my life. | When I entered the hall, it was packed with plump, bald men and middle-aged women. At that moment it dawned upon me that I was no longer a young man either. I distinctly remembered all my classmates' names, but I couldn't put the faces and the names together. I wanted to leave straightaway. It was Linda, my wife, who stopped me, of course. Even during our school days she was more reasonable than me. At the time nobody believed we would last a month together. And now we have two sons and we run a family business. |

That day I was in Stockholm at a meeting and managed to negotiate the takeover of a large pharmaceutical company. My flight was delayed, so I didn't even have time to change my clothes and I nearly missed the reunion. If only I had. I had been looking forward to it so much, but once I was there, I had a feeling I was among strangers. We had nothing to say to each other. That's sad considering how close we used to be. I should have left immediately. One thing is sure, l'll never go to a reunion again. | My husband and I almost didn't come at all because the babysitter was available only until 10. People were amazed to see us together as we had hardly ever spoken in high school. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my best school friend, Jessica, since I didn't expect to see her. I knew she spent a lot of time travelling around the world. Our paths had gone different ways after school, but she was as likeable as she had been 20 years ago and it was great talking to her. It was a shame we were the first to go. |
