Going way, WAY back

One thing I hadn’t fully anticipated about attending my 50th high school reunion is the fact that I wasn’t only reconnecting with classmates from high school. There were quite a people there who were in my kindergarten class!

Granted, none of them have been particular friends through all the years and decades, but it still gave me pause.

I was pleasurably surprised to see that the reunion committee had organized a display of memorabilia which included binders of class photos from the four elementary schools that fed first into Thomas Russell Junior High and eventually to Milpitas High School.

Incidentally, it’s hard to see in the class photo, but this is definitely one of my all-time favorite pictures!
