Class of 1960 is something special
This time of year, the Post-Record's community calendar section is filled with announcements about local Camas and Washougal high school class reunions. Usually from June through September, reunion committees are busy working to put the finishing touches on the planning of events that are often two- to three day celebrations -- opportunities for old classmates to reconnect and possibly re-establish friendships that got lost somewhere between graduation, jobs, marriages, children and families. The experience of growing up in small towns like Camas and Washougal are unique. Some people end up staying put and establishing roots in the cities that they have come to love, while others move on, but still retain the fond feelings and memories of "home."
