Reconnecting with Friends
I went to the Relay for Life at Phoenixville H.S. after work on Friday. I tried calling my friends but the calls wouldn't go thru so I just walked around hoping I would recognize someone after more than 30 years. I was ready to leave, as I turned I saw a sign. Class of 74 PAHS. I was home. I walked over to the tent and stood in front of everyone (it was 10:15 pm) and asked if anyone recognized me. I was a little nervous but Helen stood up and we hugged. It was so great to see her. She had not changed a bit. She had me laughing. She called Ed. We went to the track. We did a couple of laps and Helen had enough (with her recent knee replacement). Ed and I picked up the pace and did a couple more laps. I left at 1:00am. I was so excited. I am also helping get in touch with classmates for out 35 reunion. It is so great to see so everyone. I didn't really talked to anyone but Helen. Hopefully next time I'll make the rounds. I forgot to take pictures...me...I always take pictures.
