STROLL DOWN AMNESIA LANE

The 25th college reunion is approaching and the good folks at W&L sent out a reunion update to the 1985 edition of the yearbook. Alums were invited to send in a picture to be displayed with the freshman facebook pics from 29 years ago and give some thoughts on families, careers, and what they liked most about the old school. Mine arrived yesterday and I blew a few hours on a stroll down memory lane. A few surprises: the college sweethearts whose marriage crashed, the classmate whose wife successfully battled cancer, and the guy who married another guy in Massachusetts. Most referred to themselves in the first person but a few have the "Bob Dole" technique of referring to themselves in the annoying third person.
