GHS 68 site passes 7000 hits

Thanks to all of you for using the blog site for your source of information on the Reunion. We will be continuing to add new information as it becomes available and hope to be able to add more videos of class mates attending the Big Dance. Stay tuned.

SEND IN PHOTOS AND SHORT VIDEOS FOR THE SITE

We have plenty of space in our two slide shows to add more photos. Crack open your shoe box full of old photos, scan them, and send them to ghs68reunion@aol.com and we will add them to the reunion archives. If you can add a caption to the photo that identifies the people pictured, it will be a big help. If not, let us know who they are and we will caption the photo at this end.

If you have access to a video cam, shoot a short video message to your class mates. You do not have to attend the reunion to send a message to your old 'mates.

Karen Paige at J.J. Finley. Contact her about the coming 70th anniversary of the school

Karen Paige deals with media/library matters at JJ Finley and told me today that a 70th anniversary celebration of the school is in the planning stages for next year. To get on the e-mail notification list for that celebration, e-mail Karen at paigekm@gm.sbac.edu.

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.
