00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, don't just your TV sets or computers or

2
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>tablets or whatever sam a TV sets. So what I

3
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>did there, I'm James Junior, and this is fifty plus.

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing a video version. I usually do audio and

5
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I just sometimes I do video sometimes I feel like it.

6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I feel like doing it today. So when you check

7
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 1>out all my All my weekly every Tuesday, fifty plus

8
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>comes out new episodes audio where we get your audio

9
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 1>podcast but occasionally do video. Uh. And part of me

10
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>is kind of you know, inspired. I'm fifty plus, clearly,

11
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know much. I don't go to school,

12
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and I don't I'm not in high school, not like that. Clearly.

13
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Do they still do your books? I think they do right,

14
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 1>But are your books really important? My brother I WoT

15
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 1>this the other day because all your books were you know,

16
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have social media and ast I don't think

17
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>with social media we're talking about your books. We're talking

18
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 1>about reunion because I know my class had a reunion recently.

19
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a small group, but they had I mean I

20
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>had a large class with a small group. Still get

21
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, one part of this Facebook check group whatever

22
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>they get together. I noticed that as you get older

23
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty plus, they'll combine years just because a lot of

24
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>us are gone, or it's just easier that way. Just

25
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that a couple of years. I haven't gone any of

26
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 1>my unions, so I've gone any of ten twenty. I

27
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>have high school for a reason. But what what yearbooks

28
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about? Your books are snapshots of your year

29
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>in school? Right? A yearbook? This great? So I was wondering.

30
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering. This is my father's from nineteen sixty seven,

31
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 1>which is Maillards High School, and my mother was there too.

32
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, So I can find my father in here.

33
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's in a bunch of these things. But

34
00:01:52.040 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>let's see. So that's winter sixty seven, see right, I

35
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 1>mean in my yearbooks, I lost mine in fire. So

36
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm on a year books that I have at home.

37
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Got some uncles in here, and one of these he

38
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 1>went to high school. The chanced to my mom. My

39
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>uncle's in several these. There's a lot of organizations. Okay,

40
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I'll trying to see if I can find really quick,

41
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>but they just, oh, here we go. Well, no, they

42
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>only did the seniors. That's really interesting. They only featured

43
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 1>the seniors. Okay, Well, anyway. So on social media, you

44
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>can have your class, your school gam page, your class

45
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 1>gar page, you grab a page. Are you talking about

46
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>the kids talking to their lives all the time? Now? Reunions?

47
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Do we need them? Because basically you can stay friends

48
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 1>or in touch with someone if you're a younger dreation

49
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>now from elementary to adulthood. At this point, for me,

50
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 1>it was finding people after all these years that have

51
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 1>connected us. There's certain and I'm talking to certain ones.

52
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to you anyway. So I was like,

53
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like I don't need a reunion. I mean,

54
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 1>I know in person, the same thing is it's online.

55
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>But in many cases it's fine. I can just talk

56
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>online and see each other and see what's going on,

57
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and that's good. So I don't know, so I said

58
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>just something. I was just I was kind of thinking

59
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>about that as we get older and now in this

60
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>day and age where everything's that everybody's sharing everything. My

61
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>people are on social media too, and everybody everybody's on

62
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>TikTok and Instagram and Facebook, Twitter, every thing. So it's

63
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 1>like you kind of can post your updates before it's

64
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>like I haven't seen you in ten years. Oh, I got,

65
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>how are you? So when I have my my my

66
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 1>tenure reunion, I graduated, so I go to twentiears after

67
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>this this thing, twenties after this, I graduated eighty seven.

68
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 1>So in my ten years in ninety seven, they're no

69
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>social media. My twenty years two thousand and seven, my

70
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Space was happening and Facebook was just happening. That was it.

71
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 1>It came to my thirty year in twenty seventeen or

72
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever I was I was, I was like, I almost

73
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>was gonna go ye. But by then I had actually

74
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>connected with a lot of folks from high school that

75
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to. I didn't want to talk to anybody.

76
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. I was just couldn't reach out of

77
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>high school. And that's the thing too, A lot of

78
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>us don't have the girls us rus will get out

79
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of it. So I was like, okay, but will it

80
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 1>become obsolete at some point? I say, the unions are

81
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 1>always if you liked your high school, your college, or

82
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 1>I just go whatever. The reunions are necessary. Want me

83
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>if you want to meet in person, have human contact.

84
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 1>We never lose community context. Obviously we need it. Then

85
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you should do it. But I don't know I'm just

86
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just very like you know, for me, I'm good,

87
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>all right, just little thoughts because it actually started from

88
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>a conversation of kids don't rite cursive anymore, and we're

89
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>like we do they meek or Zo, I'm James I Junior.

90
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm drifting west and I'll talk to you next time.
