Live it up!!<br /><br />Oh - if your hair was still long, you would be instantly recognizable. You don't look that different. Still gorgeous in every way, inside and out.<br /><br />tiny heartsReya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-47644733842893316532011-06-09T13:09:37.960-05:002011-06-09T13:09:37.960-05:00Oh Jo....you are going to have such a BLAST! I TO...Oh Jo....you are going to have such a BLAST! I TOO remember how hot it was on grad. day. I remember walking down the aisle through the audience and seeing Michael B. - who made a point of telling me not to SMILE so much. See...I had a crossword puzzle and pencil under the arm of my robe - I was prepared to be absolutely bored. I was wearing a one piece hot pants outfit under the robe....it was so darn HOT that day! I also remember being in a total fright walking up ALL THOSE STAIRS to my seat in my first pair of high heels. I couldn't see my feet beyond the robe...oh it was awful! Someone I never could see whispered my name loud enough to direct me towards my seat after getting the diploma. You see...I had refused to wear my glasses and was suffering - no sight - no ability to walk....oh man...preparing for the next 40 years of fun for sure! :><br />I lost the only picture of myself in the gown - given to me by my best friend, Goldie. Seeing this auditorium picture makes me want to enlarge it and scan everyone's closeup picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891179949997003543.post-69320546673319833022011-06-09T08:34:42.348-05:002011-06-09T08:34:42.348-05:00I hope your reunion is a happy time, Jo - lots of ...I hope your reunion is a happy time, Jo - lots of 'Oh it's you - you haven't changed!'<br />I've never attended a reunion (I too graduated in '71) and haven't kept in touch with anyone in my class, except for my brother in law and his twin. I go with The Great Dane to his military college reunions every few years and enjoy those.<br />On Wednesday our daughter will graduate from university - a simple ceremony and then dinner out with her boyfriend and his family.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
