Thanks, David, for confirming what I believe to be a majority opinion among our class, that the importance is not the school or the venue, but the ability to gather as travelers with a common path. We will certainly make that happen.
I apologize for not responding sooner to your thoughtful comments. The truth is that I did not want to taint the reunion experience for others. I am in town this week and am indeed seeing family, friends, and a few classmates. My objections to the process of planning for this reunion, the bases for decisions made, and the assumed authority for these is so strong and based upon such core values, that I simply could not attend. To do so would have given some kind of tacit approval to the entire process. I simply cannot do that. I DEEPLY regretted having to make this decision, but my personal principles would not allow me to do otherwise. Furthermore the whole class did not need to witness the venom being exchanged or have their enjoyment of the event diminished. My disappointment in this situation and in the some of the individuals involved is overwhelming.
I have decided to attend the Sunday breakfast in the hope of making contact with some classmates. I hope you will be one of them.
I look forward to a continued and long lasting relationship with our classmates and friends.
Best, as always,
Curt
