I don't think I was in my Junior or Senior yearbooks, didn't graduate so I'd be surprised to get a reunion invite; never have. Even if I did, I probably wouldn't go, I don't have in common with most of those people.  Every once in a great while I might run into someone that I went to high school or college with but its few and far between and it's nothing more than 3-5 minutes of small talk. At this point in my life, it's more important to prioritize what's important, associating with passing acquaintances from 25-30 years ago is not one of them. Even more startling is when those 6 years turn into 20-30 years. I had a really close friend of mine pass away last December and I'll look at something around the house, drive by something in the neighborhood, see something on TV or the internet, etc that reminds me of him. It's really strange how often it happens and made me realize that my life is most likely more than half over. Then again, among other people, he was one to always say, you're such a d**k, you're going to outlive us all.</blockquote>
