The 40th Anniversary Reunion of the Graduating Class of 1962 of Greenville High School in Greenville, SC, was held on August 10, 2002. Scheduled events included a tour of the school at 11:00 a.m., followed by a sandwich luncheon in the school cafeteria. 

The old school has changed in 40 years, but not really all that much. Aside from a new and attractive paint job and some fresh tile on the floors to replace that old red linoleum, the main change is the addition of the James A. "Slick" Moore Gymnasium, which thus freed up the gymnasium on the 2nd floor to be converted into the current library. The science classrooms are now in the space where the old library used to be. Overall, the classrooms have not changed that much, and the courtyard, which we were not allowed to enter in 1962, now includes a picnic area. Basically, the place seems a lot fresher and brighter than it was in 1962.

I had a great time meeting people and renewing old friendships. But I did find out at the reunion there were many people I did not remember, for one very good reason: I never knew them! After all, there were nearly 500 people in our class, and not all of them were in the same Home Room! Or even the same English class. I really appreciate how Harriett Hurt sort of took me under her wing during the morning session, especially the visit at lunch with Dr. Virginia Uldrick. She is such a neat person.

From my point of view, the reunion was a great success, and I am thoroughly glad that I decided to come, and was able to make the trip from Dallas, TX, where I now live.
