So I didn't have any other students who went with me. After high school I went to a university where none of my high school students also went. So there was not a lot of continuity at the school level. I don't even know if the high school has a reunion. I don't think they did have a tradition of high school reunions in those days. Because it was the sixties I suspect there would be few of my vintage turn up now. My life resembles a necklace of beads. It is a succession of self-contained episodes. The string connecting them just seems to be me and family. An interesting aspect of modern life. I suspect I'm looking at a future where I end up in some retirement place surrounded by people I've never met before. I suppose I can watch all those movies where people work out their lifelong entanglements with each other and come to some kind of resolution.
