40th Reunion
Posted by Nancy on August 23, 2007
I received another email from classmates and I looked at the page where they list events. As I scanned the list of events for our class it looked like I personally had planned everything. For the 2 picnics I was only the messenger. The computer program is set up so that it looks like I am “the organizer”, but I’m not. My paid membership in Classmates will be expiring next week and I won’t be renewing for now. I felt the site was too cumbersome (like you had to pay to send emails and actually use the features). I think if everyone on classmates finds their way to this site and uses the features here, for free, the same thing can be accomplished. That is, staying in touch and finding out about events. I am going to set this up so that in order to leave a comment you must register. The reason for that is to hopefully cut down on spammers. I hope all Hoover alumni, from our class and others from the sixties will join in and add comments to this site. Please even if you don’t choose to register and write things just check back once in a while. If you read about this on Classmates and didn’t go to the reunion, and you don’t think anyone has your email address, please go to the other website for the 40th reunion and send me an email. I am compiling a list of current emails for our class. Hopefully by 5 years from now it will contain everyone who is interested in being contacted for future events.
I realize not everyone wants to be contacted, In fact I would guess most don’t really care about these things. But some do and this is the launch of a way to do it. Five years ago there was no such thing as a web site like this, at least I didn’t know about it. Five years from now who knows what will be available, this will probably be obsolete.
The reunion begins tomorrow night at the Hilton Harbor Island cocktail lounge. it continues Saturday night at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse at 6:30 pm. If somehow you are just finding out about it go to the Reunion planning website for all details. If you are coming bring a camera and you can add some pictures to this site. They also have a way to put videos on this blog.
