Hi Jim,

I added a link to your reunion website on our class of '67 blog here: http://bhsclass67.blogspot.com/

And if you or someone in your class wants to start a blog, I can help - it's free and fun!

Cheers!

Cathy Palmer
BHS '67

THANKS FOR THE INFO. I SET UP OUR BLOG BHSCLASS68.BLOGSPOT.COM, BUT HAVE NO REAL CLUE WHAT TO DO WITH IT. HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT WHEN I GET TIME. I WENT TO YOUR BLOG A FOUND THE BILL TIDEBACK HAS JUST PASSED AWAY. I KNEW HIM SINCE GRADE SCHOOL AND EVEN TALKED TO HIS MOTHER TRYING TO FIND HIM. I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM HIM THOUGH, SADLY IT APPEARS THAT HE WASN'T IN MUCH OF A MOOD TO TALK. I NOW HAVE FOUND THAT 49 OF OUR CLASSMATES HAVE PASSED AWAY. I FEAR THERE WILL BE MORE SINCE I'M STILL TRYING TO LOCATE ABOUT 68 PEOPLE STILL FROM OUR CLASS. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE INFO.

JIM

Hi Jim,
Hey great you made the first big blog step! The first thing I did was scan and post the pages from the Ceralbus of all the senior photos here. Then sent an email asking folks to send me recent or old photos that I could post along with any updates, etc. Then I added youtube videos of music from the 60's etc etc.

Yes, very sad to discover those who have died. We have a memorial page on our blog here - this was the most difficult thing to put together - lots of tears.

But in general, the blog thing was easy for me as I already had a few personal ones where I could spout my opinions when no one else would listen to me - lol!

Would it be okay if I posted your email? That way it will spread the word a bit more about your upcoming reunion.

Thanks Jim!

Cathy

ABSOLUTELY! THIS IS THE E-MAIL I SET UP FOR THE REUNION. HOPEFULLY THIS WAY I WON'T HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME LOOKING FOR PEOPLE IN TEN YEARS FOR OUR 50TH.
