Hobbies, Interests, Passions

In this information age, we've grown a little shy about voluntarily giving out too much of our personal info. It's no small wonder with identity theft rising every year, and marketing agencies harvesting personal data to sell us something we don't need.

However, I hope that you'll relax a little and share some of your interests with the rest of the class. Not to give too much away, but what the committee hopes to do is help break the ice at the reunion by making it easy for everyone to, first, identify each other, but also, in an unobtrusive manner, identify common interests.

We've come a long way since high school. Some of us have:
traveled,
married,
divorced,
kids,
no kids,
careers,
golfed,
played music,
built communities,
saved someone,
knitted a sock,
made art,
served our country,
danced,
fed the hungry,
wrote a poem,
landscaped their yard,
tiled their bathroom,
raised chickens,
tattooed their body,
etc, etc, etc.

We've been places, we've seen things, and we know so much more than we did when we were coming of age. We have so much to share with one another.

This reunion is a celebration of our youth, but it's also an opportunity to share our lives and our wisdom. To learn that, though we may have lost touch with each other, we have many common threads.

Don't be shy. Tell us about yourself...
