St Cloud Class of 1950 Reunion


I flew home to Columbia, SC so that I could drive my dad down to St. Cloud, Florida for his high school reunion. St. Cloud was and still is a small town in central Florida near Orlando. They have long since built a new high school, but this was a reunion for the old school. I believe the years were 1929 - 1968. My dad was in the class of 1950, and his class met for dinner the Friday night before the reunion.
Saturday was the big reunion day. We went for the lunch and then returned around 4:30 for the dinner. There were people there that graduated in the 40s all the way to the 70s. I think overall, a little over 200 people showed up. It had been said that that would be the last reunion (they've been having them every 2 years for a little while) but there was a rumor that someone from one of the younger classes would be taking over and continue to have them.
I met some great people and heard some great stories. It was a lot of fun and I brought a video camera that a friend had lent me and tried to get some stories on tape, although some people became a little shy when they saw the camera.
