It’s been sooo many years since I was last back in ol’ E-town (Emporia, KS), and I’m with very mixed emotions that my 20th high school reunion that is coming up this weekend (with the first event being Friday night at the bar and grill that used to be the movie theater that I worked at all though those HS years).

For the most part I haven’t seen almost any of those people since graduation day. Now that I think about it, I think I might be able to say that I have seen none of them since graduation day. Most of the people after that which I hung out with were all from the year above me.

I was never very popular (a classic 80s spaz/geek/nerd), so didn’t know a great many of them. I’m finding myself going back over my yearbooks to match names to faces. I wonder what it’ll be like this weekend.

I have arranged for some meetings with some of my favorite ol teachers, and can hardly wait to catch up with them.

Oh Pru Schmidt, I need to see if I can run into her while I’m back. If anyone ever could be blamed for being a formative teacher/mentor, it’d be her and Mr. Chapman.
