Happy New Year! GO GATORS!! Let's Party!!!

Happy New Year to all in GHS 68. There has been alot to celebrate in the old home town lately. The County finally put up a traffic light way out on Jonesville Road at NW 39th Avenue, neither of which even existed, I suspect, when we were young. The First Baptist Church is even moving out there from downtown. In other local news, THE GATORS ARE NATIONAL BCS CHAMPS!!! And Superman has been sighted recently, indicating he will be around to hammer the bad guys for another year!

So it's a fine time to have a little party. We have reserved a room at the Macaroni Grille for Friday night, January 30, at 6:00. This is a little different than at the Gator's Dockside, so we need your RSVPs in advance if you are coming to make sure they have room for us. Please email Bill at bill.harlan@alumni.duke.edu or Jackie at hoover81@cox.net or 352/332-2516 if you will attend or need information. The restaurant sits on the side of the Oaks Mall in Gainesville that faces Newberry Road. We're looking forward to seeing you!

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.
