Downlands 1987

There's a website for my 20 year high school reunion, where people are posting photos and bios in the lead up to the reunion. I thought our class was particularly disfunctional, and the 10 year reunion was ridiculous. It was preceded by the most offensive sexist "questionaire" imaginable, and the event itself was in a half empty hall with a crush of people around the bar, no music, little food, no speeches, nothing. So I didn't have high hopes for round 2, and had absolutely no enthusiasm for making any effort to get there. But it seems we're a more interesting bunch 1o years later. A bit less of the blokey/boozey crap, and people seem a bit more circumspect about life and their place in the world. It seems a lot of people spent 10-15 years figuring out where they fitted, and are more settled now. Of course, I'm still not going, but I'm reading the website with interest.
