Never went to the big ones. Three high schools in three states in three years. Did go to a meetup of a couple classes of final last summer; best friend (a year behind) asked me to go w him. Ran into a woman I was in a play with, and recognized her immediately (and she looked great & told her so).

If you fail to vaccinate your children, and they get sick (or much worse from a preventable disease), you’re an unfit parent.

Signed, a parent (of now adult children).
