Class of 19?? was the Largest at Taylorville. Ever!

I graduated from Taylorville High School in 1981. At the time we were the largest graduating class in the history of the high school, and we were allowed to hold our graduation outdoors. It was a pretty big deal for the time. And I felt sort of proud being a part of that historical class.
And then my Uncle Kenny deflated my ego.
It turned out that his graduating class was the largest ever, because, as we found out over the years, he went to school with everyone.
You could be with Kenny in County Market and he would run into someone, "I went to school with her." She would be young woman, mid-30s, Kenny was 60 at the time.
In Ace Hardware, a man from Litchfield, early 80s, Kenny is 49, but somehow they went to school together.
Was my leg being pulled?
Did he really go to school with all those people?
Suddenly my graduating class seems so small.
I imagine there will be a class reunion in Heaven, people from the Taylorville Classes of 1929 to 2001, from Pana, Kincaid, Assumption, the Decatur and Springfield schools, from other states, maybe a few from across the ocean, and Uncle Kenny will know them all. Because he went to school with them.
