Twenty Years - But Who's Counting?


I did it. I went to my 20th High School Reunion last weekend.

I was a little nervous heading to the Homecoming Football game on Friday night before the festivities began. After all, I had heard others talk about their reunions, and usually their stories were filled with unflattering descriptions of how people had changed.

So you can imagine my relief when I finally connected with my old friends and classmates. It was true. We had changed. We are so much cooler now than we ever were in high school.

Twenty years ago, we were heading out into the world with our big dreams. Now, we are the people who are out there in this great big world, doing what we love, and leading the way for a new generation.

Constant Improvement is the nature of the Universe. If ever you doubt, go to your high school reunion and really talk with people. You'll be dazzled.

Not only that, but we looked good, too! Pictured above: The officers for the 1988 Martin High School Sundancers Drill Team Squad. Still kicking after all these years!)
