Hewlett High School Reunion

December 22, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have not written for a long time.  What has inspired me to get back into writing was going back to my Hewlett High School Reunion on December 13.  So many people at the reunion told me that they had been reading my blog and asked why I had stopped writing.  I had no idea. So in spite of there being a new format in WordPress, which I cannot yet figure out how to work with, I am going to take that inspiration and resume my reviews.  Thank you to all who let me know that you had been reading what I have written here and that it had touched you in some way.

The Hewlett High Reunion–which commemorated the Class of 1966 turning 60–was a wonderful event.  Due to the amazing leadership of Chick Bisberg, and his reunion committee (Larry, Ellen, Beth, Jeff and Alan), we all enjoyed a weekend in which (in Chick’s words):  “Old friends reconnected, new friendships were created, and some old wounds were healed.”  Thanks to Linda, Wendy and Bonnie for before and after parties.  I was struck by how much I liked everyone I spoke with, how glad I was to see people from all different parts of my growing up, and how much fun it was to be with people who had the same reference points (everyone I spoke with went to Walls Bakery and everyone loved the beach)  If you are thinking about going to a high school reunion, based on this one, I say go for it.

    I wondered if anyone would remember me because I was so shy and such a non-participant in anything social or extracurricular. I was so wrong and had a better time this second time around.
