WORDS OF WISDOM FROM "DEAR ABBY"

DEAR ABBY: This is for all those people who don't want to go to their class reunions because they weren't popular - or didn't belong to the "in" crowd in high school and they thought no one would want to talk to them anyway.

I didn't think anyone would talk to me either, but I decided to go to my 20^th high school reunion.  Abby, it was the best move I ever made.  People were actually glad to see me!  

I hugged more people that night than I had hugged in 20 years!  I have never felt such a sense of love and belonging as I did at that reunion.  There were no pretenses of where we came from since most of us came from working-class families; we came home to be together.  I even made peace with an old enemy!

For those who organized my reunion, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  For those who didn't make the effort to attend - you missed a wonderful event.

All the best...YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN 

DEAR YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN :  Because you took the trouble to write, perhaps those who were lukewarm about going "home" for a class reunion will reconsider.  Thanks for writing.  Thanks, too, for mentioning those generous people who organize class reunions.  They require a ton of work, and not many are willing to tackle the job.
