For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Robert Burns, 1788
As we prepare for a forty-fifth class reunion, I'd like to feature four of my former high school classmates: Adela Rosca Seal, Becky Haines, Chuck Frascone, and Vivian Okey Snyder. I asked many people to participate in this series. I wasn't so interested in wealth or fame as those who had interesting stories, both those who had left and those who had stayed close to home. Some declined, some were busy. What all of these four have in common is that they have been to no previous reunions (or in Chuck's case, one many years ago) and all are coming back this fall for the forty-fifth.
I conducted in-person interviews with Becky and Viv and I asked Adela and Chuck to fill out a questionnaire. I wanted to know about their present and why they've chosen to come back now. In addition, I have a reminiscence of Watson Grade School. I'll be posting one of these a day for the next five days, for the interest and edification of PHS people. The first will be Saturday, August 10th. Stay tuned!
