About this site

Submitted by Tom Olin on Fri, 08/08/2008 - 18:26

I have created this site for the use and enjoyment of the members of the HCS class of 1973. Please use it.

Like several of you, I used to play on various commercial classmate and reunion sites, but the crippled capabilities and constant cries to "Upgrade now!" quickly got annoying. After tolerating that nonsense for too long, I decided to roll my own. I already had a hosting site for some other domains, and one more doesn't cost me anything, so here we are.

How about a 2009 reunion?

Submitted by Tom Olin on Mon, 02/23/2009 - 21:30

Anyone interested in holding a reunion this year?

There was some discussion of doing so at least summer's reunion. In addition, I've received some suggestions from the class of 1974 of holding a joint reunion with them, although there's nothing specific proposed yet.

In any case, if any of you want to get together, we should start talking about it. It would be nice to get together again, especially if we can turn out a few more classmates who didn't make last year's festivities.

When? Where? What?

Post a reply and share your thoughts!

Classmates.com sued

When I saw the headline Classmates.com User Sues; Schoolmates Weren't Really Looking for Him, I laughed and thought, "That sounds just like an Onion story." But this story actually came from Wired, which is not known as a satirical source.

In any event, those of you who have accounts (as I do) on Classmates.com can probably relate to this story.

Updated Galleries

I've replaced the pictures in the galleries with higher resolution ones. They look much sharper now.

The slide show isn't the greatest, but it will have to do until I find something better. It can be slow to load all the images, but once loaded it plays smoothly.

Rose-Marie (Gregory)

We had a great time today seeing Rose-Marie again for the first time since 1973. Met her husband, Graeme, and learned a lot about their lives down under over the past 35 years. The classes of both 1973 and 1974 were well represented. I hope to have some pictures to post soon.

See the pretty pictures!

I have installed a photo gallery and loaded some pictures from our June reunion. Here's a sample. To see the rest, you'll have to register for an account and login.

Previous reunions?

Submitted by Tom Olin on Fri, 08/08/2008 - 19:26

At this past June's reunion, one of the hot topics was previous class reunions. Just about everyone had a slightly different recollection of when and where earlier reunions were held. Someday, somebody important might actually want to know, so it is up to us to come up with a consistent story that we can all agree with. With any luck, someone will find some old pictures or other documentation confirming one view or another, but until then, we'll have to just argue it out here.

Let's go!

It was fun!

It was great to see those of you who made it to the dinner Saturday night! I wish Debby and I had been able to attend the picnic as well, but we had to attend some other things at home.

I'll be adding some pictures from the two events to this site. Check back soon for those.

And we're considering another reunion for next year. Stay tuned for more on that.
