A Pearl of a Time: CHS Class of 1981 30th Reunion


Reunion: A gathering of friends at regular intervals or after separation.

Dear Classmates,

It has been nearly ten years since we gathered together back in 2001 and celebrated our 20th Class Reunion. Well, as hard as it is to believe, in just a few short months, June 2011, we will be celebrating our 30th Class Reunion. I cannot comprehend that it has been three decades since we marched across the stage in Zemp Stadium, received our diplomas and said goodbye to our alma mater. Thirty years is a long time. Many of us have started families. Some have stayed in Camden and surrounding areas whereas others have moved to different states. A number of us have inherited some gray hairs and a few extra pounds. A few among us have served our country through the armed forces and are now veterans. And sad to say some are no longer among us. For these and I'm sure many other reasons it is time for us to reflect upon the past, look forward to the future, and come together to celebrate our 30th High School Reunion.

As in past reunions you can expect an enjoyable time of catching up with "old" friends, making new friends, seeing who has changed and who still looks the same, consuming some good food, dancing to the 80's tunes, and making new memories. It is going to be a "Pearl of a Time."

Registration is easier than ever. You can do it all online at the class website (www.CamdenHigh1981.com).

Reunion Updates
Each month until our reunion I will publish an electronic version of the Palmetto Leaflet on our website. So check each month for info on the reunion: who's coming, who's not, and other info on plans for that weekend.
