To My Graduating Class – On The Auspicious Occasion of Our 20th Reunion

by Margaret Evans | Nov 14, 2007 | Rants & Raves | 0

Dear Sewanee Class of 1987, Man, you look good. Who knew you would look so good? The last time I saw some of you – most of you – your faces were smooth as marble, clean blank pages, uncharted territory. You were pretty then. You’re beautiful now.

My five-year-old daughter, on the floor with a jigsaw puzzle, was mesmerized.

I was at Pigeon Point Park the other day, watching my five-year-old spinning away on the merry-go-round ad nauseam (my nauseam, not hers) and chatting with a woman I’d just met, another mom who happens to be a teacher at a local elementary school. We were discussing the recent reopening of Waterfront Park, specifically wondering when the playground might be ready for business. We both agreed that the new park was looking good; then my companion added, “I hope it don’t get tore up again, or nothin’.”
