Body:	<i>Terrific weekend. Much thanx and many kudos to the committee for all of your work, of which I am certain that we out-of-towners only saw the tip of the iceberg. But couldn't you have done something about the rain and cold? Following up on some other comments, fortunately for me, fitting in was never much of concern. I either did or I didn't much care about it if I didn't. Maverick genes I guess. One the most interesting aspects of the reunion which no one has mentioned yet was being with so many people who share the same historical memories. By that I mean things that we grew up with beyond HPHS and beyond Highland Park. Things that people a scant ten years younger have no clue about: JFK assassinated the very year of our graduation. 1968 â€“ the absolute worst year in domestic political history since the Civil War. All that later generations really know about RFK and MLK is that airports and roads are named for them. OK, that's probably an over-statement but you get what I mean. And how many people know anything about Malcolm X except that he probably looked like Denzel Washington. And how many people younger than we are can walk past â€œThe Wallâ€ in DC and shed tears as they touch the names of friends â€“ real people who are longer with us. It's not just high school memories that we share but life experiences whether we were in the same place or not. Things that we lived through separately and together â€“ close by or thousands of miles apart. OK, enough maudlin stuff. Thanx all for a really memorable time in so many ways.</i> *
