Class of '68 Quarterly E-Newsletter

April 2004 Article

April is here - Daylight Savings Time is scheduled to begin this weekend, and Spring Has Sprung in my part of the country! Makes me feel young again - at least mentally!

If you've perused our site at all, you've noticed Mick Orton has posted pictures taken at our Reunion last August. Many of the pictures taken that night (with the cameras on the tables) did NOT turn out because the room was dark and the camera's flash was not turned on.
Did you take pictures with YOUR CAMERA at our reunion in August?
Would you be willing to share them?
If you can send them digitally, please email them to Mick. If you can send him the actual snapshot, he can work his magic then return the picture to you. Please identify the people in the picture, to be on the safe side!! We'd like to post pictures and pictures and pictures - until we run out of space!

Elizabeth Goodman Hallowell is busy helping "researchers" from other classes who are looking for connections to their classmates. I've written a couple classmates asking them to forward information about a brother or sister to the researcher of the sibling's class.
Mick and I have been hearing from people, not only from other West High classes but also from people across the country, about our website.
We've heard from several classmates we were previously unable to locate, and they've shared their information in the bio section.
We've learned and shared the news of the deaths of several of our classmates.
We've learned of connections being made, and friendships being re-formed.
Many classmates have signed up on www.classmates.com Have you checked out this valuable resource?

Thanks to those who have kept me informed of changes, etc. You are an invaluable resource to our Class! Keep the cards and letters coming, folks!
