Can't Stop

In June I go back to New York City for my Golen Jubilee College Reunion.  We will all have changed in one way or another.  As college students some of us partied here and there with lots of drinking.  Some outsider might have looked at us and said we were all a bunch of drunkards and alcoholics.  But college ended, guys went on to marriage, careers and family.  They stopped drinking the way they drank in college.  They were not drunkards and alcoholics.  They could stop for a reason such as growing up and new responsibilities.  A very few could not stop when they tried.  These few went on to become full blown alcoholics.  They died too young or got into recovery programs.  Or maybe they just went crazy and have been otherwise lost to us.  They won't be at the reunion.  Now when we all get together, it will be interesting to watch the new behavior. Many of us have not been around one another since the party days.  Hopefully, no seventy two year old classmate will try to duplicate fifty year ago behavior.  That would be a forgetable and maybe forgotten Jubilee.
