It's a funny thing about my high-school reunions. Or maybe not so funny, actually. When our first reunion at the 10-year mark came up, I had run into several class members around town, within a few months of when it was held. A couple of them were on the organizing committee. We talked about the reunion and so there was no question that they knew I was still around town. I lived at the same address and had the same phone number as when I was in school and this information was listed in a student directory they gave to all of us.
But I received no invitation to the reunion, so I didn't go, nor to any others over the years. I think that those who organized the reunion and sent out the invitations, belonged to the same social clique that ruled the roost in our school years. They hadn't changed a bit, in that time.
I have 3 high school friends that are still my best friends. We hang out probably 2-3 times a year. We're all heavily in the career/family stage of life so its tough.
Yes I keep in touch with several, after many years not in touch. Facebook has allowed the reconnection to easily happen since I live >1,000 mi away. Sometimes a bunch of us end up waxing nostalgic about something and it ends up turning into a virtual reunion with people sharing their memories. Some I've known since we were about 6 years old.
Pretty much all of my friends are from high school or grammar school. I graduated high school 22 years ago.
The first kid I ever met on the day I moved the summer before second grade is still one of my best friends and now our wives are friends too.
We all talk and get together pretty regularly for parties, kids stuff, just to hang out, etc. One of us just got married this past Saturday. Off of the top of my head, at least 20 people from that time frame were there.
I guess I am lucky? I have intentionally kept my work life as separate as possible from my personal life due to the nature of my career so very few of my "real" friends have come from work even though I've had the same career for almost 18 years.
I do not keep in touch with anyone from childhood, high school or college. Kind of disappointed about that. But I have a great group of friends I met at my first job after college.
I am a 1988 graduate myself and I see a few of them when I can and am friends on Facebook with a lot of them. I am living with a high school friend until I get back on my foot as well. I have neer thvought those years were my best years and I would not go back even if I had Doc Brown's DeLorean. But I am thankful for my old friends from that time
