From the first night we recognized each other - sometimes in just a glance, often after a few minutes of catching up. On June 30 and31st and July 1st the Class of 1966 came together in various Juneau settings to remember, renew, revise and rewind. We brought photos of the kids and the grandkids and the dogs, significant others, ex's, houses, toys, and places we've traveled. The common thread was the 4 years we spent together, some barely knowing one another -- some lifelong friends. A story, anecdote - some memories were better, embellished by years of telling. Charlie's car, Merrill's beard, Kit's bike, Schoeppe's speech, Marijo's performance, Duane's performance. . . ah yes, i remember it well.
Catch us if you Can -- indeed a rousing anthem for the years we've put behind us and the good years - retirement years ahead. We have lost a few precious people along the way. And when we hugged "so long" and thanked whoever was responsible for Sunday's sunshine, promised to keep in touch -- we have a hope for the future, we are the generation who still sings "Imagine" in our hearts and minds.
