[Source: http://www.experiencetalks.org/id9.html] My First WPHS Class Reunion, the 45th 1961 to 2006
We met and it was sweet. I have not seen any of these people except for “Stevie” for 45 years and that was only last summer. I have been apprehensive. Because in my mind…they are all young, thin, vibrant and full of zest for life. I mean, all of us are only 17 in my mind. And yet when I look in the mirror…I have wrinkles. It is not whether or not they will like me…it is will they like me with wrinkles? I had mentioned my anxieties to “Stevie” earlier on the phone this morning, calling her to ask for a copy of the taped interview we did for the reunion DVD. She said that there would be 40 classmates at the Mt Vernon Inn where we were staying. “Just go out by the poolside restaurant and ask who’s here for the reunion and you will meet them.” “I feel funny seeing them because everyone is still young in my mind.” Suzanne

Suzanne's
room at the Mt. Vernon Inn was close to mine. She had arrived the day
before and decided to make a poodle skirt for the Saturday sock hop.
So she went out and bought the felt, the satin poodles, ribbon and a
sewing a machine! (which she carried as hand luggage back to Sedona....)
That was Suzanne. The least conventional solution seemed so natural
to her. We had so many giggles. She bought me a satin poodle, too, and
was prepared to sew me a skirt. Such a dear heart. I would love to find
that great picture of Suzanne in her homemade poodle costume. She looked
wonderful and was rewarded with praise all evening. xoxoxoStevie |

SUZANNE MCMILLAN on SEDONA as a pilgrimage for spiritual seekers. For
20 years, she has been leading spiritual quests across the United States,
Canada and Mexico, that she describes as an adventure of the heart.
Suzanne passed away on September 21st. She will be missed.
We
were all so innocent then…so naive and vulnerable. We were being
groomed for a life, a destiny that we had no idea would catapult us
into the 21st Century with its ups and downs, its gifts and challenges,
both personally, socially, culturally and economically. Winter Park
High School 1959 to 1961 the Reunion of the Century begins.
