Local News | 20 years ago elementary teacher, students set a date to meet | Seattle Times Newspaper:

"BREMERTON — Twenty years ago, a class of 20 Armin Jahr Elementary students made a pact with their fourth-grade teacher: they would meet at the school's flagpole on Jan. 1, 2010, at noon.

The date, displayed on the classroom white board through the school year in 1990, served as a reminder of the promise the 8- and 9-year-olds made.

They couldn't fathom then what they might be doing when they were almost 30. Would they be married? Probably, said teacher Richard Lewis."
