Getting together was all about "good feelings, not just good memories," Jon Ball said as we parted the Tulsa East Central 30-year reunion last night. I think that's a great insight. It isn't just nostaligia. Something endures over the years when you reunite with friends from your idealistic years of youth.

Reunions can also be a great study in the immutability of genetic influence. No matter how different the physical looks, you quickly detect the core personality you loved, hated, feared or admired when just a kid grappling with what life had in store for you. Sometimes the consistency of personal nuances hides much deeper changes in attitudes or philosophies, but the personalities are there as clear as ever.
