Every now and then in the past i use to think back to my school days and wonder about some of the class mates that i have never met since leaving school - two in particular .
Last night we had a re-union and those particular two people were there , as well
We talked about the fact that it was strange how we have never seen each other again , since leaving school .
I no longer meet up with my old school mates......probably because of this....
Many years ago my sister phoned to tell me to put on the TV.....a group of prostitutes were being interviewed about why they entered this profession.....
One was my double in every way.....looks, hair, speech, mannerisms.....and I'll bet the nuns who taught me...were saying....
See now, Sister Immaculata.....I told you she'd end up no good!
I don't think I've seen any of my classmates since I discovered there was a whole wide World out there In late teens, and I became highly mobile.
Can't say I ever missed any of them tbh.
Still in contact with a largish number of Former RMs though, a good network as they're all over the place.
As at the moment I live approx 150 mls from where I grew up I think it unlikely any old friendships will be rekindled.
i went to a funeral yesterday (well i tried too, plane was late and we missed it but made the wake) and i met up with friends i haven't seen for 17 years or so, was lovely to see them.
I've never been to a School reunion, but know folk who love them - I do peek at the facebook page of my old school now and then.
I still know some I went to school with as I have never moved away, some of my classmates went on to teach and have taught my children and grandchildren too.
one school-mate was a bridesmaid, she eventually married, had kiddies and they emigrated.
We lost touch, in the days before interweb etc.
Might go and search for her.
I am still friends with just one still local schoolmate after many, many years. If I do happen to recognise any of the rest I cross the road!
But keep in touch by cards and infrequent emails with former 'best friend' who now lives a long way away.
Sorry pressed too soon.
My in-laws met at primary school my mil said she when they were five years old she was going to marry him. They were married for nearly sixty years.
