Commencement 2o11 - Friends' Central School

REUNION REFLECTIONS
We probably all have the same reaction when
we hear that another Friends’ Central Reunion is
coming up “I can’t believe it’s been ___ years!”
But, a quick look in the mirror confirms the
decades since graduation. The reunions get
better as the years go by. They become less
about “What do you do?” and more about “How
are you?” I was surprised by how close I felt to
people that I haven’t seen in several years. What
a wonderful time to celebrate, reconnect,
remember those who have passed on, and
support each other.

OMG! Our 30th Reunion was so meaningful
and so much fun. Kudos to the Development Office
for using Facebook to arrange everything. People from
near and far arrived on campus, and the party continued
into the weekend. It is so nice to be reconnected and
feel the warmth of dear old friends.

It was a great joy to get together
with the wonderful people of
the class of ’71. Kudos to Joan
Alexander, for being the motivating
factor in getting us all together
again. She brought us to Friends’
Central from cities near and far,
and the Reunion did not disappoint.
We shared our news, some happy,
some sad, but were all there in
support of one another, just as we
had been 40 years before. As in the
past, we shared some great jokes
(concerning someone’s vacation)
and laughed harder than ever. It
was so difficult to say goodbye.
Here’s hoping that we can all get
together again soon!

I had a great time at Reunion
Weekend. The class of ’91
(including its several honorary
members) remains the same
warm, caring, and friendly
group I remember from two
decades ago. I CAN’T WAIT
FOR THE 25TH.
