To our classmates in the Gainesville (FL) High School Class of 1968: Our 40th reunion will be held June 20-22, 2008 and this blog has been created to provide information and updates on the reunion and its planning. The Planning Committee (Bill Harlan, Jackie Cooter Hoover, Susan Hazen Balloon, Robbie Davis, and Jim Conner) has been hard at work identifying and locating classmates. Plans for the events in June are in full gear with the venues secured etc. Numerous meetings have been held to practice hoisting beverages of choice and singing the alma mater in several different languages. Book your flights, gas up the Olds, and be ready to come home to Hogtown to reunite in June.

General Information and Schedule of Events
40th CLASS REUNION: June 20-22, 2008
The schedule for this past reunion has been posted on the Yahoo group/forum (see link with other links) for safe keeping.
We are discussing how long to maintain the blog and we are leaning towards doing so ad infinitum. The Yahoo group/forum will keep on keeping on so sign up and send in your thoughts, etc.
Also note that our reunion e-mail address is and will remain ghs68reunion@aol.com.
HOW TO ENJOY PRE-REUNION PHOTOS OF YOUR CLASSMATES (HELP FOR THE COMPUTER-CHALLENGED)! Go to the SLIDE SHOW at the top of the blog page to watch the photos. To control the slide show, place your cursor over the slide and use the pause, forward, and backward arrows that will appear. Double click the slide and you will be directed to the Picasa photo site. There you can see a larger version of the photo you clicked. Click VIEW ALBUM to enter the web album of all the pre-reunion photos we have placed in the blog. At that point, you may order any copies of the photos you would like to or watch, send photos to friends, or watch a full screen version of the slide show. Have fun.
When sending in electronic images, please identify who is in the picture and who is sending it. Many of us look exactly like we did in our youth, some of us do not so identification helps the blog maester. Some photo programs allow you to label or caption each shot to identify the people pictured. If you can do this before sending it in, it will save us time at this end.
