New Approach

Starting today you will see a new format for our Class Email Directory. This new format was driven by the new address update form I told you about in my March 1, 2010 posting to the Blog.

When you use the new update form to provide your address information it is automatically stamped with the time it was submitted. The time stamp is shown in the left most column of the new Class Email Directory. 

Under this new approach each classmate with an Internet connected computer can easily ensure the currency of their alumni address information. Make your updates as often as you think they are needed. However, doing it at least once a year would be advisable for everyone. Hopefully, keeping up with address info this way will cut down on the number of "lost" classmates, and help hold the line on the rising expense of trying to find "missing" classmates at reunion time.

I encourage everyone to use the form soon after reading this posting. Subsequently, report your changes as they occur, or every 12 months if no changes occur. Its always a good idea to complete all data items each time you submit a change. That confirms previous information and shows where changes have taken place.
