Forty-years later, Maur Hill Reunion
Maur Hill Prep Class of 1969
Who were those strangers I saw two weeks ago at my high school reunion. Somewhere behind the graying hair, the wrinkles and the expanded waistlines were hints of the young boys that I lived with for four years of high school.
We were never a close class back in the late 60’s, and after our graduation in 1969 I lost track of most of my classmates. Only one really matured into a close friendship to this day.
Mike LeCluyse and me at Maur Hill Prep.
It was an adventure returning to Atchison, Ks. Driving the backroads of Missouri, stopping at wineries and eating at a funk dive in Weston. In forty years Atchison has not changed much. Maur Hill Prep is much the same as it was in 1969. Same classrooms, same dorm and same gym; only different faces walk the halls.
Who were those strangers, I gues they were much like me. Not young men looking forward like we were in 1969, but just a few old men looking back.
I ran across your blog this morning…I enjoyed your writing and the pictures. My son is a a junior at Maur Hill. This is his first year there. We are a military family and he commutes from Ft. Leavenworth. He loves the school. It’s my wish they he will continue to enjoy his next 1 1/2 years there and that he will make life long friends. He loves the diversity of the school. Again…love your photos! It looked like you had fun connect with your classmates.
God Bless–
Beth. I am glad you enjoyed my blog. Due to my work schedule with my new company, I just do not get the chance to update as often as I would like.
