school friends
One of the things that I looked forward to when I retired was returning to the small town where I grew up and graduated from high school. I didn’t attend any of the class reunions that were held every five years, until our 30th reunion. I found that I enjoyed them very much.
It has been nice to reunite with classmates who have also retired and returned to Stigler.
The woman who was my best friend all through high school has bought a home here and she and her husband will retire a year from this coming June and move back. I look forward to being able to spend time with her again.
In two years, our class will have our 50th year reunion. All class reunions are held on the third weekend in June. The entire town celebrates reunion days with arts and crafts down on the courthouse lawn and games for the kids. It is a wonderful three day celebration each year. On Friday nights the classes meet individually. There is a community breakfast on Saturday, a dinner and dance on Saturday night and a community church service on Sunday morning. Many plan their yearly vacations around ‘reunion days’.
