When Richard Cavaler tracked me down by phone months ago, I was shocked that an eighth grade 50th reunion was in the works for late summer. Having already attended a 40 year college class reunion and 45 year high school reunion, I told Richard that I would probably not fly from Texas (where I’ve lived, for the most part, since 1958) but would like to be on the e-mail list. After seeing the great website with photos and biographic info, I decided to attend the reunion.

The older we all get, the more we cherish memories and friends from the past. At least that’s the way it’s been for me since turning 60 four years ago. After seeing the list of classmates and reunion details, I realized how much I enjoyed my time at Hampton and in Detroit. My career direction turned out to be in the trade show industry and I was an exhibit salesman for nearly 28 years with The Freeman Companies before retiring on my 62nd birthday in 2005.
