I recently uploaded my sixth grade class picture to Facebook and Classmates.com, and now here. Why? Why not? Just to wax nostalgic, perhaps? Sixth grade seemed so mature at the time. The last year of elementary school. After being with the same bunch of kids for most of the last five years we would be dispersed to different junior high and then high schools. Some of them I would never see again. Some would remain friends for a few more years, but eventually I would lose touch with all of them. One I would re-connect with forty years later through Facebook. Looking at those faces I wonder what's become of them. The blond haired boy in front was the smartest kid in class. Looks and brains...did it take him far? I know the girl with the bangs and pigtails in front has become an artist and had gallery showings. My Facebook friend is a prominent music writer and been a panelist on the Metropolitan Opera quiz. What about the rest? Have any died? Are they leading happy, useful lives? Have they made their childhood dreams come true? Are they still trying to?

ReplyDeleteI didn't have many friend in the class since I moved up from 5-2 and I was overweight and very shy.
I think I remember you. Maybe a Freddie? A Kathy or Cathy Hull.
Mrs. Rosenberg's class, right?
