Out of a class of 625, I was only close 4 or 5 kids. Virtually all of them moved away by the time I graduated.
I did make multi-year friendships with a couple others from my HS class in college, but I haven't really kept up with those friendships either.
When my 20th rolled around a few years ago, one of my friends from HS tracked me down via the interweb. He wanted to know if I was going, which I was not. I ended up making a business trip to his neck of the woods a few weeks later and we got together for a burger. That was pretty cool, since we picked up on the same inside jokes from 20 years ago.
If I lived in town, I'd probably go to one just to see how people came out. It would be pretty sureal, since I haven't seen most of them a single time since I graduated in '79.
