Corina’s comments from the Second Wind Publishing group.

My 10 year high school reunion was good. Of course I was pregnant with my second child so I basically sat at one table and "held court". Everyone came to me. Music was good. Food was excellent. I was glad I had gone. The twenty year event was enjoyable. I was glad I had gone. It was quite small but we all had a great time. The twenty-five year reunion was horrible. I came back home depressed and feeling rejected. All of maybe three people even acknowledged me. I had not expected that. I was well liked and popular in high school so this "reception" took me by surprise.

I have only gone to one college reunion and I won't ever go again. I attended at great expense (had to take two days off from work, drive, pay for hotels, and I had my kids with me...all teenagers...as it was a family event with a lot of activities for the kids) so that included more expense. I had signed up for mini-reunions and for lectures and the main lunch on the first day. We all had name tags on. Not a single person came to say hello and not one person even acknowledged me when I went up to groups to try to participate. Humiliating is too mild a word for it.

Never again.
