The Middletons by Dana Summers for July 11, 2022

Some people age better than others.

Not such a big thing (class reunion). Every month, we have a class breakfast plus we have a class website with which we keep in touch.

And you were concerned about how you would look, Morris?

Sounds like they are combining classes, because of reduced attendance.

Yes, Morris, people age at different rates. But, what George doing at this reunion? Wouldn’t he be from a different class? Maybe he was brilliant at the time.

I new a guy who was a security guard. He looked ANCIENT! His wife was in a retirement home because she had dementia. One time we were talking, and he casually mentioned he was 64! I would have bet 80! On the flip side, I was at work the other day, and the security manager for a famous rock star was talking with me, telling war stories, and he said he was 62. I thought he was in his late 30s!

That’s why they wear name tags at reunions, so you can recognize your classmates you haven’t seen in 50 years.

I joined Facebook to keep track of some people I met online and got friend requests from several people I went to high school with. I still keep up with most of them. There are some girls who look as good as they did in high school if not better. And some people who look like they should be in nursing homes.

I went my 50th, and no one but a bunch of old people showed up.
