REUNION JITTERS?

As the reunion approaches, your mind becomes flooded with thoughts...will there be anyone there I know? What if my old boyfriend or girlfriend is there? What if nobody remembers me? What if I don't recognize classmates or remember their names? What if I run into someone I didn't get along with in school? ...I've put on weight, I've gone gray; I've lost my hair; I'm not that successful... RELAX...you're not alone!!!

You're not alone in those thoughts...Everyone feels the same...don't let that stand in your way of attending our class reunion...Come and have a good time!

The bottom line is, we have all changed. We're not 17 anymore! The laws of gravity and time catch up with all of us...eventually. Changes are an inevitable fact of life...accept yourself for who you are...be yourself...celebrate life's changes.

This is a time to come together, renew old friendships, catch up with each other, reminisce about the "good ol days"...celebrate life's changes. It can be a wonderfully rejuvenating experience. When it's over we can take comfort in the fact that we have all changed, we've all gone down different paths in life but that we all still share a common bond and still enjoy a good party.

GOOD MORNING CLASS OF 74!!!

A lot has changed since we walked the halls of Benton Community High School.

Technology that was once only science fiction, has come to life in our adult years, we can go places and see things that we never thought possible; without stepping foot out our front door.

We are ALL older...some wiser...we can hide our age with hair color, hair plugs, botox, liposuction, face lifts, breast implants, tummy tucks, colored contacts or lasik surgery so we don't need those darn glasses at all. But face it...although pretty cool (in our own minds) we can NEVER hide how goofy we looked in 1974!

It's almost time for our 35th class reunion...so in keeping with the times...lets start blogging! Believe it or not, my kids didn't have to show me how to set this up!!! (Although they did have to program my cell phone.) I realize that not everyone will be able to attend the reunion so it would be nice to see what has become of the class of '74. Alot has happened in 35 years, we have experienced; births, deaths, achievments, losses, wonderment and dispair. Post your stories...post pictures...share yourself and pass this blog on to other classmates.

Deb Osborn has graciously volunteered to head up the coordination of this gig. Since she is in California and we are in Arizona, any help, local or otherwise would be appreciated!! The date will be between June and August, updates on dates and location, will be posted on this blog. If you have a burning desire of what you would like to have happen this time around, don't be shy, let us hear it. Also if you have heard from a long lost classmate, let us know.
