I'm not a big College Reunion \/ Alumni Association kind of guy. I'm still in touch with most of my classmates from +<\/span>Pomona College<\/a><\/span> with whom I'd like to be in touch, and I'm not a guy who enjoys chit-chat. But though I missed my 30th, +<\/span>Margie Kleerup<\/a><\/span> and +<\/span>Mary Oswell<\/a><\/span> decided they were going to theirs, so +<\/span>Stan Pedzick<\/a><\/span> and I tagged along.<\/p>\n

And it was fun, seeing the campus again, stopping by Juanita's for a burrito, seeing some of the old faces I knew from my time there, shaking my head at what had changed even while acknowledging that many changes were for the better …<\/p>\n

I probably won't go back again any time soon, but I'm glad I went.<\/p>\n

Most of the photos I took were with my "real" camera, but I took a variety with my phone, the better of which are attached.<\/p>\n
