However, because of COVID, we postponed it and had a joint reunion in 2021 with the class of 1981. I didn't go because we usually have our reunions in our hometown but this one was going to be in a different location and I didn't want to bother with the travel. That and I didn't want to have to deal with twice the number of Trumpers.
