On November 3, 2007 the class of 1967 of Roosevelt High School, Minneapolis, Minnesota will be holding its 40th reunion at the Embassy Suites hotel in Bloomington. Years ago I attended the 5th and 10th. I think I attended one or two after that. Then I stopped. It wasn’t that I didn’t care. It just wasn’t that important. So, I am thinking of going this year. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because 40 years means that there is more reason to celebrate our good fortune to be alive and be a Teddy.

There won’t be time to hear and understand all of the new stories. But it will be good listening time and it will feel good to hear and share the old stories. Yes, some of them have been told over and over. But they are still good stories. Still good friends, distant but not forgotten. Older friends chronologically but never old in spirit.
