I was ddisappointed. Everyone was pretty much the same except for a kid everyone thought was a dork, who had become a wealthy attorney and showed up with a gorgeous elegant wife whereupon all of the onetime cool guys drolled as if they'd never left high school.

My 12th grade English teacher came too. He was the greatest teacher I ever had, since he was the first example of a polymath I'd ever known, who taught that knowledge was its own reward.

That made it a worthy exercise, I guess.

I have no idea if any of those people are alive or what they did with themselves.
