REUNIONS 1980 AND 1992

REUNION
 
A Point In Time To Celebrate
With All Who Made It To This Date
Past Friends, Companions, Erstwhile Sweethearts
Will Come To Express Astonishment And Delight
At Those Who Have Been Long Out Of Sight
 
A Meeting Of Memories And Recollections
Sparked By A Vivid Imagination And Selection
Some Might Even Peruse The Yearbook
Anticipation And Speculation Are The Game
But Alas, Fantasy Will Never Make Reality The Same
 
A Scheduled walk Through Old Memory Lane
Golf, Swimming And Tennis To Expand Ones Time
Cocktails and Dinner For All To Unwind
Music And Dancing With Conversation Tossed In
A Collection Of Spirits Creating A Din
 
A Flicker Of Light Dancing Here And There
As Evening's Curtain Draws To A Snare
Most Will Take Leave With Fond Farewells
Exhausting And Uplifting All In One Day
A Fitting Ending To A Jolly Good Play
 
EPLIRA 1980
 
 
Reunion-Part II
 
(40th)
 
Forty Years And More
Who Has Kept The Score
We Can All See The Change
Do We Fall In The Expected Range
Almost Six Decades Of Life
Replete With Pleasure And Strife
Much Less Ahead Than Behind
Not Much Time To Better Mankind
Maybe Just Getting There Is Enough
Perhaps We're The "Right Stuff"
Look Around You Once More
Most Will Add At Least One Score
Live It In Fun And Good Health
Make The Most Of Your Accumulated Wealth
Do What You Need To Do And Then More
You Will, Like Eagles, Forever Soar
Finally, Reunions Are Mostly A Mind Game
Play Honestly And Most Will Do The Same
