Those 70ish girls… The Laramie reunion

Wow! Did that 3 days go by fast or what! We arrived in Laramie, WY, on Thursday and attended the reunion Friday and Saturday night. It covered all the classes who attended Laramie High School in the 60s. I, for one, think the 60s had great music. My brother graduated in 62 and had all the albums and 45s, so I knew the words to all the songs. I graduated in 1970 from Murdo High School in SD. Kip’s sister, Karlyce, graduated from Laramie High in 70, and her class wasn’t honored, but she went, anyway.

Kip’s family was represented by all 4 kids, 1 from Laramie, 1 from Sheridan, WY, 1 from Greeley, CO, and 1 from Texas. I will say that for me, the siblings all getting together was the best part of the whole weekend.

There were over 500 attendees which I think was pretty good since the ages ranged from around 70 to over 80. They had an area where the pictures and names of those from each class who are deceased were displayed, which depressed some, but all felt they should be recognized.

One thing I noticed as I walked around and observed the attendees was that everyone was shocked that people had aged. It was like they thought everyone should look the same as they did in high school. One thing they did, which I thought was a great idea, was to have lanyards with everybody’s senior picture on them. There was no getting around it. Some people had aged.

We have moved onto Casper, WY, where we lived 40 years ago. We’ll be here for 3 days before heading to Gillette to see our son and his family and also attend an FMCA Rally. We’re happy travelers looking forward to the next adventure.

    MG- Such fantastic pictures!You definitely look about 45 so those older folks have aged. Love your new hairdo! Yes, those lanyards were a great idea reminding others how young they once were…maybe.
