(Note - Frequently Asked Questions Further Below)

If you are new to the website, please read this page.  It will answer all of your questions on how to join your classmates, get a password, make a profile and how to access the website.   If you are already a member, there is information here that might clear up any questions you have.

This website is completely free to our classmates.  You will never be asked to pay to use our website, to make a profile, or to be able to access other alumni profiles. If you would like to donate towards the maintenance of this site, we welcome your donations; but it is not required.

If you have not already done so, you will need to register with our website and create your individual password, Member Details, and Member Profile in order to access any password protected pages on this site.  Start by clicking on JOIN HERE in the log-in box at the top right of the Home Page.  This will take you to a page with names of classmates who have not registered yet - including yours.  Find your name, click on it, and follow the instructions to create your Member Details and Profile. Your email address and the password that you enter during this process will be used as your login password. You can personalize your Profile with information and photos.  We encourage you to do so.

If you do not find your name listed on the Classmates page, please use the Contact Us option on the menu to the left to notify us so we can have your name added.

We welcome classmates who were in our class through the years but did not graduate with us.  We will add you as a Guest.  If you are associated with our class as a teacher, school official, another class close to ours, or have a spouse in our class, we can also add you as a Guest member.  Contact Us if you wish to be added as a Guest member to our site.

If you are already a registered member of this website, and are having trouble trying to log in, note there is a password reset feature to click on in the log in box: it's called "Forgot Password?".  If you're trying to log in and can't remember your password, clicking on Forgot Password will send a message to your email address on record with instructions on how to reset your password.

Once you join the site and create a Member Profile, you will be able to see the Profiles of your fellow classmates and interact with them, exchange messages, post comments, upload pictures, participate in surveys, and take advantage of all the other options available to registered classmates.  For more details on more of the things you can do go to the Tips & Tricks page.

If you clicked on "Remember Me" in the Login Box when you logged in, you can still log in from computers other than your home computer but you will need to enter your password.  If the program you use to access the internet clears 'cookies' and temporary internet files on your computer when you exit from the program, you may have to enter your password when you log in even though you checked "Remember Me".

If you change your email address, home address, or phone number, please update those in your Profile Details so we have your correct information at all times.  While not visible to other classmates, the website administrators are able to use that information if we need to contact you.

All contact information that you enter into this website will be kept confidential.  It will not be shared or distributed.  Your contact information is private.  Your address, phone number, and personal email address can't be seen by other classmates or anyone but you and the website Administrators.  When someone clicks on your name, the only contact information they will see is your city and state, and whatever information about yourself you choose to put in your Profile.

Although your email address is not visible to other classmates, they can send you a message by using the contact box at the bottom of your Profile page and you can send them a message using the contact box at the bottom of their Profile page.  Note that these messages are kept totally within this website.  If you send a message to someone through the contact box on their Profile page, they will not be given your email address.  They will receive a notification email from the website reminding them that they have a message, and will need to log in to the website to read and respond to any waiting messages.

Please note the Class Creator system and this website does not send spam mail of any kind.

Always check back with the Home Page regularly.  That's where current information is located and where announcements are made.

Most of all, enjoy and have fun with your website!

What is the purpose of this website?

This site was originally created for the purpose of connecting with all our classmates in order to coordinate our 50th reunion.  However, since the site allows all of us to connect with one another and continue to re-establish old friendships, we've continued to support the site since it serves a dual purpose.  So, not only is the site used for coordinating reunions, it's here for anyone in our group who just wants to reconnect - even if they are not going to a reunion.

 

This is my first visit to the website.  How do I login?

Please click on JOIN HERE in the login box at the top right on the home page, then click on YOUR NAME to set up a FREE member account.  Provide your email address and create a password (which you can change at any time).  Add your married name, if applicable, along with any informaton you wish to share.

 

I forgot my login information and/or password.  What should I do?

You log in to our website by entering the email address you provided during your member account set up.  If you have several email addresses and cannot remember which one you used, or if you no longer have access to that email address, click on "Contact Us" to send us your new email address.  Your website administrators will make the change and then email you a temporary password.  Once you've logged in using your new email address and temporary password, change your password by clicking the "Change Your Password" link under the Member Functions menu on the home page.

If you remember your email address but forgot your password, click on the "Forgot Password?" link right above the green "Log On" button on the Log In box, and the website will automatically email password reset instructions to you within a few minutes.

 

Can I join the site even if I don't plan attend the reunion?

Of course you can.  Even if you do not plan to attend a reunion, there are old friends here that would love to see what you've been up to, and we hope you would like to reconnect with.  That's one of the primary purposes of this website.

 

Who has access to my "Classmate Profile" and personal contact information?

Your "Classmate Profile" is not publicly viewable (e.g., by other classes, friends, search engines, and the general public).  Viewing your Profile is restricted to only classmates and guests registered on this website.  The only personal contact information displayed is the city and state in which you live.  However, if you have duplicated some of that information in the Comment box in your profile, that information can be seen by all logged in classmates.

 

Can I be notified when other Classmates update their "Classmate Profile?"

YES!  Click on "Notify Me" in the Member Functions menu on the left, scroll down to see the list of classsmates, and check those you wish to follow as they make changes.  You can also scroll down to the bottom of any classmate's profile page, click on the box that says "Notify me whenever [Classmate's] profile is updated," and click on the "Notify Me" button.  You will be notified by email any time there's a change.

 

Does the public or other Classmates have access to my email address?

No.  To protect your privacy, your e-mail address is only stored within the website so classmates can use the website to send you a message.  You can decide who you want to provide your own email address to.  To see if you've received any new messages, click on "Message Center" under the Member Functions menu in the left side column.

 

What are examples of the emails that I may receive?

You may be emailed information about new website features, details about upcoming class reunions or events, general announcements, classmate profile updates, and other important news.  Click on Notify Me in the Member Functions menu to select (or opt out) of each notification type so you only receive the messages you wish to see.

 

Can I post my own photos or videos on the website?

Yes!  You can upload a current photo of yourself, your family, pets, vacations and old photos from days gone by, past reunions, etc. by clicking on "Edit Profile" under the Member Functions menu on the left.  See "Edit Profile" on the Tips & Tricks page.  There is no limit on the number of digital photos that you can store on your "Classmate Profile" page.  Each uploaded photo is automatically resized to fit on your Profile page.  You can also link to your own videos that you've posted on YouTube.  And of course, you can add, delete, or replace your own photos or videos at any time.
