Don't You Forget About Me
A big thanks to Robb Melancon who recently emailed this to us.
It is so great seeing all these old pictures. I hope everyone is enjoying the nostalgia as much as I am.
Recently I was doing some “spring cleaning” in the house and came across a box that I have had in storage for… well almost 20 years now. As I started looking through it I came across some pictures and letters from high school. A lot of the pictures were from different school dances and functions and many of the letters were old “love letters”.
I also started reading through all the signatures in the old yearbooks. As I read through them, it really brought back so many memories. . The one thing that I kept reading over and over again were the words “I’ll never forget you”. It made me start thinking, at the time we wrote those words we probably didn’t realize how true that statement was. That no matter what happened to us for the rest of our lives, there are certain people and memories that will stay with us forever.
Regardless of how the relationships with your highschool sweethearts, friends or even teachers ended, and even if those relationships are still alive today, you can never forget the memories of your high school years.
At least I can’t. So to all the classmates to whom I have not spoken with in 20 years and to those with whom I’ve spoken to recently, I can say in all honesty that even if we never speak or see each other again, “I will never forget you.”
Hope to see everyone in June
