I don’t want to pin it down too much since there were only 36 in my class. So I’ll just say Gibson County, Tennessee. 24 of us went from 1st grade through 12th grade together. Just this week I talked with the girl who sat next to me in 1st grade and broke her crayons to share with me. I spent graduation night at her house. I called her to let her know that Jimmy Buffet was going to be on **60 Minutes**. We are 61.
