how old are we?

**jon.oman** · 30-Jul-2022, 12:54

I just turned 71!

This is a cracy old thread. Last time I wrote a comment I was 56. Now I am 76.

With this thread started with the above post of May of 2002 I would guess it should be updated to "(I too and staring down the 70 year mark!)."

Dang...I was a kid of 48 when this thread started.

is thread shows it clearly: times flies! I was 47 when reacted before, now I'm 67. My life has vastly changed. But I still shoot LF and medium format film.

When I hit 84, I am going to find a one year old and tell him, "I'm 84 years old, and Uranus has only traveled around the sun once."

Should confuse the heck out of his parents...

I'm 41. Never shot large format before but I do have a 4x5 on the way.

Vaughn I'm sort of confused also. Then again...with a bit of hindsight....

Oh...and later today and all of tomorrow - I will go to my 50th (yikes!) high school reunion. Hanover (NH) High class of '72. We were a small bunch (104 of us), but very tight class. 60 of us are showing up not counting spouses and significant others.

Festivities begin with a tour of HHS...conducted by a beloved history teacher who'd begun his career at the high school in 1961 - and is still teaching there!

Should be fun!

LOL

Since I went to 5 HS, I had no reason to take it seriously

So for the last HS I 'attended' the 30th was 23 years ago

I took 3 very beautiful lady friends, all in their early 20's. We dressed very well

We ignored the IN Crowd, ate well, drank a bit and once in a while somebody would stop to interrogate us

I told them their names are #1, #2, #3, my partners liked the joke

We whooped it up

I will never go near those 'classmates' again

I also skipped 'graduation' as did my parents for different reasons

I went to my 35TH and fully a 1/3 of my class were dead already. So anyone vertical should be smilin. It wasn't my trip socially. It seemed to be dominated by posers-the same posers from back in the day. I shudder to think about the 50th.
So now at 72 I have a few maladies and one whopper of an extremely rare autoimmune disease but I'm still working and have a very good quality of life (IVIG infusions every three weeks keep me going). I took up dog agility because a breeder gave me an amazing Aussie and we even managed to qualify for the national championship finals this year. Training that Aussie and myself (dropped 50 lbs and cured me of persistent vertigo) was a stealth blessing.
I look forward to the time I have left.
It's so great that so many old friends are still here and working.
