To out of towners attending the reunion: We have reserved rooms at two hotels. There are 10 rooms set aside at the Hampton Inn and Suites in downtown Gainesville. It is relatively new and right across the street from Lillian’s. All rooms have 2 queen beds; double occupancy is $129, single is $119. They charge a $6 parking fee per vehicle, and tax will be 11%. You may reach the hotel directly at 352-240-9300. Be sure to reserve by May 28th and mention GHS Class of ’68 Reunion to receive the group rate.

The other hotel is the Courtyard by Marriott at Archer Road and I-75. We have reserved 5 double doubles and 5 kings, both at $99 plus applicable taxes. Again, the group name is GHS Class of ’68 Reunion, and reservations need to be made by May 28 to secure the discounted room rate. Their number is 352-335-9100.

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.
