Forty Year Reunion Attendance: Up Slightly From 2002

Listed below are a few things that I found interesting about our reunion and about our class that seemed worthy of sharing...

1) Our Brighton High School Class of 1972 had about 390 people; I am not sure how many eventually received diplomas. Actually, we all received pictures of the class instead of diplomas until we turned in our caps and gowns, and sometimes jumped through a few final hoops.
2) About 10% of our classmates have already passed away due to illness and accident. We'll have a memorial table at the reunion so you can see who is no longer able to attend and who we'll miss seeing.
3) Out of 390 people we could only track down solid contact information for about 190 of us. (I keep saying 'about' because I am too lazy to get more accurate counts. It changes daily.)
4) We mailed invites to about 190 people, 88 women and 102 men.
5) Of those 190 classmates we attempted to contact, so far 72 have signed up (not including spouses). That comes to 35 women (40%), 37 men (36%), plus about 50 spouses.
6) With people signing up this week or showing up at the door our reunion promises to be slightly larger than 10 years ago: over 130 people!
