I graduated in 73. My sister had a big party a couple of years before when she graduated but I wasn't interested in sitting around with a bunch of old people when I could go hang out with the girl who is now my wife and my buddies. My sister had gotten married about 6 months before and I knew that had set my folks back some change so I told mom and dad that I'd be happy with the promise somewhere down the pike of the farm becoming mine. Dad passed in 88 and in 97 mom sighed it over to me. So That was my much belated multi graduation present. By then I had graduated several NCO schools, a trade school and was in college. Mom passed before I graduated college. Kinda a shame, she always wanted me to attend.
Interestingly no one from my class of 63 is what some would call a huge success although to my knowledge we all entered the work force and stayed there. One is still farming the family farm. Couple of us entered the military but I think I'm the only one who stayed for a career. One became a cop. Another wound up being the county commissioner before he crawled into a bottle. Couple of school teachers, one a small town lawyer but nothing spectacular. No CEO's, no millionaires and no high politicians.
I have no idea about how many of us are still alive.
