I arrived at Radford School right on time at 10 am when the festivities were to start. Memories began to come flooding back. I was so happy to be there. The morning consisted of a tour of the school, a performance by the school kids and lunch. Alas they do not take borders any longer and my old room I lived in for 4 years is now an art classroom for the elementary kids. There was no sign in the room that I spent some of the most formative of my years in there.
I saw so many friends that I had forgotten about and it was so neat to see them again. My old suite mate Rosario greeted me, it had been 24 years since we saw each other. Yet, it seemed as if we were laughing together like yesterday. I ate in the main dinning hall because I was a server there for all 4 years and had to eat in the kitchen. All meals are formal at the school. It was so fun to have someone else serve me. The food was as good as I remembered, we all had seconds!
There were times that friends shared with me that I did not remember at all and there were photos of me that I did not remember. I was frustrated at first but then just enjoyed hearing about our adventures. The evening is planned for a reunion with all of my main closest friends here at the hotel bar. My excitement was huge!
