An open letter to my High School classmates...
Wednesday, November 7, 2007 at 08:14AM I will not be producing the the 2009 reunion of my High School class (graduating year withheld for a number of reasons). I was elected the Senior Class President as a mistake. I ran for the position because I was told my college application lacked some zing and that I needed to add some extra curricular activities besides "Parking Lot". So I ran for Senior Class President, and won.
I produced, with the gracious help of another person, our first reunion in 1999 several years ago and lost a couple of hundred dollars doing so. I was fatter than I wanted to be and wasn't really excited about showing up so fat in the first place. I had just married my stunning earth wife and probably thought that her presence would take the edge off me being so fat. I think I'm even fatter now (though I'm trying to be less fat). So please accept my apologies and figure out something we can all do that doesn't involve me fronting $1700 to cover a mediocre buffet and Convention Center room rental.
Regards,
Maready
Senior Class President, New Hanover High School

I have no idea what to say to you... very strange letter...
Gotta say, Forrest, that your reunion rocked! Just like my class' grad party, your grad party was way better and so was your reunion. Mine was way too cliquey - it either had been too long or not long enough. My 20th is coming up in October, so I am trying to get as many people in the know about it so that the reason people don't come isn't because they don't know. As far as what you should do, class of '87 just had theirs last summer and went to the Reel Cafe. They had the whole rooftop reserved. That seemed like a fun time (Denise Montouri and Leca Pritchard both said it was great) which didn't involve any financial commmitments. Or maybe Charlotte Fort or someone else would take over? Good luck. By the by, we all look different than we did in high school and I think it's not for the worse in your case...only in mine!
