Bill's note to the committee is as follows:
My dear friends, I'm still mostly speechless over the weekend, although many warm and wonderful thoughts are spinning around in my head, most of them centered on each and all of you and how well it all went, despite everything that happened over the last few months and days. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for everything you did on the reunion, both planning and doing, your care for our classmates and your thoughtfulness towards me. There's plenty more to say when we meet next.
We as a committee plan to meet soon to consolidate our materials, evaluate what was done successfully (or not), what was needed and what was unnecessary, etc. Our purpose is to put a template in place so that the next time around will go even more easily. Our goal is to groove more and work less.
We will be discussing a date for a future reunion, how to continue keeping our class database updated, and what on-line presence will be maintained for the short and long terms.
Certainly, any comments or suggestions are always welcomed either by e-mail, comments to a blog posting, or (better yet) the Yahoo group/forum.
SEE POSTS, PICS, AND VIDEO OF THE 40TH AND LATER "MINI-REUNIONS. WE WILL BE POSTING PHOTOS FROM THE 45TH FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE. PLEASE USE OUR BRAND NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR ALL CORRESPONDENCE: purplehurricanes68@gmail.com. WE CONTINUE TO UPDATE OUR DATABASE SO SEND ANY CORRECTIONS TO THAT E-MAIL ADDRESS. ALSO, ANY TIPS ON LOCATING CLASS MATES ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED.

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.

Jim, Bill, Susan, Jackie, Diana, and all of you who worked so hard. What a great reunion! I'm sure each of you is exhausted, but it was a job well done! What fun reconnecting with old friends and playing "remember when?"
My heartfelt thanks to each of you for all your hard work. Hope to see you on some of my future trips to G'ville. C/O 68 ROCKS!
