Mr. Bond sends his "regrets"

We invited Mr. Bond to attend the 50th.  He responded with the below note: 

Dear Carmen and Gerry:

    I appreciate your sending an invitation to me...I feel more like a member of  the class of 64 than I do my own HS class.  It would be wonderful to see everyone again....I just wish they would all look like I picture them....when they were 17-19 years old.  
     
    I truly enjoyed my years teaching at Toppenish. I pull out the old HS annuals and look at them often.

    I know the years have not been kind to me or Sandra and I'm sure not your class mates either.   
For this reason I will decline the invitation...I just don't want to see them any different than what I remember and picture in my mind.  50 years has been too long.

    Have a great reunion..my thoughts will be with you.

Sincerely,


Jack Bond.
