Lutcher Stark High School 45th Reunion, 2009

To travel back to a place in our past for a high school reunion is a method of time travel that lifts no questioning eyebrows. Although the path is found in the present physical realm, the mind finds itself in a quite different realm. The mind seems to experience a sense of skipping over years of life unlived when renewing such old friendships. All of a sudden, we're facing people who have changed so much that we don't immediately recognize them. People who were a part of our daily lives for many years have matured, become adults with children and grandchildren. Not only do we not recognize their faces, we don't know how they became who they are today. We've missed their lives, and they've missed ours.
