My vote is to GO ! You will see people that you spent so many years with , old friends, and make new friends at a Reunion. I havent missed any of mine, we have them every 5 years, and my 35 is coming up in 2007 and I can hardly wait for it !!! Unfortunately my Class has now lost 19 members. Every Reunion there is a table with a rose beside a name card for them, and we honor them that way. Sad - of course, but we never forget them, and it's a special part of the evening to honor them.
I think the neatest thing about going back to a Reunion is that so many of the "nerds", "uppity snoots", etc, are some of the nicest people I have ever known. They were sorta "outcasts" while in school, but thank heavens we all matured enough to take time to get to know them at the Reunions, and some of those folks are now people I keep in contact with alot. I am only sorry I didnt know them while in HS !
I hope you do go and fill us in afterwards about having a wonderful time ! (If you can take a guest - I volunteer

.......cause I love Reunions and would probably enjoy yours as much as my own ! )
Hope your mouth feels better soon.
