The common denominator that we share as the Class of 1970, is the period in our youth that was defined by the high school experience; both the good and the bad. These years are generally punctuated by immaturity, inexperience, self-focus and a wide array of social anxieties and cultural perceptions. Consequently, we so often miss out on the richness of experience provided through genuine relationships during this time.
High school is indeed a unique opportunity to form lasting, meaningful relationships. Unfortunately, the opportunity is often squandered. Fortunately, while we are still here, the opportunity exists to renew those cherished friendships that we let slip away over the years, and to form new and lasting relationships with a group of people that share a "oneness" of experience: a community. |
