Outdated School Reunions

Excerpt from “Why Knot?” Buy the book at Amazon

Bombarded with messages about my 50th college reunion, I wonder why reunions are tied to your year of graduation. When I think of my school experiences, I remember people in the class before and the class after, or who never graduated, those who were in the same major, or who took some of the same courses, or who were involved in some of the same activities.

High schools and colleges should organize reunions by schoolmates rather than classmates — people who attended school at the same time, rather than people in a single class.
