My 40th high school reunion is coming up. There's a zoom event on Friday, plus an in-person gathering in Central Park on Sunday, and another event for fully vaccinated people. A couple of weeks ago I decided the in-person parts weren't worth the round trip from Boston, and I have now taken a freelance gig that might conflict.

Two hours of Zoom, with people I haven't been in touch with*, on Friday evening? I'm going to RSVP, to get the link and put the reminder in my calendar, and then see.

* The only person from Hunter I was close to as an adult was [personal profile] roadnotes, who wasn't in my class (she was a year older than me). Her comments on how disappointed she was at her thirtieth reunion weren't the only reason I skipped mine, but they were a factor.

My 30th is soonish--not this year. I can't imagine doing Zoom with the group of them, though I went in person to the 10th and 20th. For the latter, about 25% of a class of ~450 showed up--not bad--and I remembered most of their names. I think it can help to have at least one amiable contact present; a friend and I wandered around together, which made it easier for people to get their "How are those nerds doing" remarks out faster as well as easier for us to turn the conversation to something more sensible.
