1999 december 13strange reunionmy dad sent me a url today. i went to check it out and discovered a rather crude page for my high school 20 year reunion. the pictures were blurry and were mostly group shots where you could barely make out faces so i was unable to get a very good look at any of my old classmates. i read through the text and received a nasty shock towards the end: one of my old boyfriends had died. periodically i would wonder what had happened to him. i would do a net search or ask the few old friends i was in touch with if they had heard from him but no flags were raised, and to tell the truth, i wasn't all that concerned about locating him. it was more an idle curiousity than anything else. we were a casual item at best and while we remained good friends throughout my senior year, neither one of us felt all that terribly about going our separate ways for the college years. i was rather surprised how much it upset me to find out he had died. i called jubliee who called some friends who called some friends and the rumour is it was some sort of drug overdose. i would have never thought that would be the way he went, he was so athletic and straight when i knew him. i should have kept better track of him. as if that would have changed anything. still amazed at how things can change in 20 years, claire
