Lots of stuff going on today and a housekeeping note on the slide show

We hired a photographer to cover the reunion and he was vigorously shooting photos of the Friday night gathering at Gator's Dockside. The Committee was delighted because it allowed us to be social butterflies and not worry about shooting each of the 8 million attendees. His work will be prepped and sent to us next week so hold on for additions to the reunion slide show. As soon as we receive his photos, they will be posted on this site.

Today, we have golf, a motorcycle ride, a Ward Scott English class reunion, two bus tours of Gainesville, and the dinner/dance at the country club.

To those of you who could not join us, we miss you, but understand that difficulties in traveling these days arise. We are endeavoring to provide you with a "virtual" reunion as events occur with photos and video. Also, we plan to keep this blog active for several months and the Yahoo group/forum for a very long time. So sign up for the Yahoo forum if you have not already.

Off to do much work and to take cat naps when time allows.

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.
