after some 50 years

Yesterday I met 7 good old boys in my junior high school days.
They have grown up to be very nice gentlemen.

Yes, we were junior high classmates some 50 years ago.
We met at a Japanese pub, Hamanoya, in Meguro.
I was the only girl present.

I had never visited Meguro.
I had much difficulty in finding the pub.
I finally went to a Koban(police box).
They were kind enough to show me the way to the pub.

We talked, in turn, about how we had lived after leaving
our junior high school and how we are now enjoying our life.

Every one of us had both good and hard times.
Every one of us worked hard to support his family.
Every one of us thanked for being alive.
Every one of us was happy to see each other after some 50 years.

We talked a lot.
We laughed a lot.

I think I will attend any reunion from now on when I can.
