I was skimming through the reasons not to attend the class reunion and came across #17 - I'm afraid I might get grabaged. This would only mean something to those who either participated in, or were subjected to, this bizarre ritual. How can you possibly explain this to anyone who wasn't there, and how do you apologize to a person whose most vivid memory of high school was being accosted by your classmates before school, picked up, and dumped (headfirst at times) into a garbage can. It was ridiculous behavior but it made me laugh all day. Thanks to whoever dredged this memory up.

I wish I could have made it an unlucky 13. Damn City Council meetings! I'll be at the next one, though.
Thanks to all of you for helping to make all of this happen! Got my invite and am looking forward to seeing everyone! Ellen Webb Johansen
