Homecoming
Jul 23 2007, 3:25 PM EDT
Growing up, we always thought of the Homecoming Games as for the students. In reality, this is a game for the Alumni. We need to see which weekend this is and try to have a get together. Nothing special, just a time to say "Hi" if your in town.

Another thought is to coordinate with the classes we attended BHS with ('80-'84) for a "rolling" reunion with all these classes invited. Each class would host on "their" year (i.e. '83 in 2008, '84 in 2009 and '80 in 2010, etc). All the classes would be invited but you better be there for "your" year. Why wait another five years to see our friends?

Your general idea is a good one -- connecting with other class years right around our graduation. I'm just not so sure how it would work out in application -- seems like it would be difficult to coordinate. Since so many of us are in either Houston, Dallas, or B/CS, maybe organizing a happy-hour in one of those cities from time to time would work better. And I totally agree with your last sentence -- why wait five years to see our friends? Time moves too fast ! By the next reunion, most of us will be closing in on 50 years old -- scary thought, isn't it? Do you find this valuable?

Making the initial contact with the surrounding classes would be the tough part. Once we get the ball rolling, it may prove to be easier since we won't be waiting five years to start tracking everyone down.

Sending out the invite would be relatively easy.

A football game would be cool. I know several leaders of the 80 class. They allready get together with classes two years ahead to two years behind.
Let me know?
