A Second Chance

First off, thanks to all of you who who have taken the time to send in your info for the yearbook - much appreciated. For some reason, many have been shy to send in photos. We know it's a lot of work in your busy schedule but we're going to make yet another request ~

Remember the brilliant essays you wrote for Mrs. K or Halle or Tessey during English? Now just imagine you have this one chance to meet all your friends from high school (which you do in November) and in that brief, shining moment, you have that perfect opportunity to plan a chance encounter with your high school flame or that luminous dream that you never had the courage to approach in school. Would you let this second chance pass by or seize it?

And what would you say?

We've had the privilege to catch up with some of you by email and skype and phone recently and we're humbled because you've had some incredible experiences since we last saw each other and it's a damn good feeling getting to know old friends and making new friends all over again :)

So here's that second chance, guaranteed 15 minutes of fame, to share with your mates about your incredible life since you last saw them. It's your new york moment!

And you also know that this meeting of the minds of over 100 of us in one place won't happen again....so take that chance, toss the yearbook form and instead send in an essay (= more than 1 paragraph) on your life and whatever you care to share and how you would like to be remembered, immortalized in the pages of the yearbook. Your mates will devour every word.

carpe diem!

P.S. Jo, Peter, and Divyaa have sent in crystallized memories.
