It was July 2002 when I uploaded the first few web pages that formed the core of our 1961 Fair Park Web Site. At that time, we had Internet contact with about 40 or so classmates who had provided their email address as part of a directory prepared for the 40th reunion. At the current time, we have email addresses for more than 230 of our classmates. I hope that even more of our classmates will be joining with us as we push toward the 50th year reunion in 2011.
Many different factors have come together recently that make it imperative better ways be used to obtain and maintain up-to-date alumni address information. The Update Address link now on the class web site's Navigation Bar is the best solution we have found to ensure that valid address information is available. That link enables each classmate with Internet access to keep his or her own information up to date. The process also ensures greater accuracy of the information by eliminating nearly all retyping of the address information.
The most pressing need now is to get every classmate with Internet access to use the Update Address link. So far, only about 30 percent of the classmates listed in the Email Directory have used the Update link. If your information in the Email Directory does not show that it has been confirmed in 2010 please use the Update Link. If there is a change in your data later on, use the Update Link again. Using the Update Link is simple and usually takes less than two minutes.
To get to the Update Link just click on the Update Address link shown in the Navigation Bar of the class web site.
