New Content

Korki has uploaded pictures from the 50th reunion. Click on "Previous Reunions" and then on "50th." This gallery of photos is open to all those who attended and have photos to share! You can add your pictures to the site, too!  Just go to any of the 50th reunion pages and you'll find a link to add your pictures - just follow the instructions.  We are also planning a Reunion Booklet to be on this site and available for downloading.

You can also still order your copy of the DVD that has been created by Don and Joyce Smith (Class of 1960) - it turned out GREAT!!.  Send your check in the amount of $20 made out to Carol Haney and sent it to her at PO Box 916, Chiefland, FL 32644. We will mail your DVD directly to your address.

We would also like to remind all of our classmates that we still have approximately 90 classmates that we have been unable to locate at this time. For purposes of this web site only, missing people mean they have not joined this site. If interested in helping to locate others, contact Elaine Kosky Caskey here on her page.

Site Security

People really like this site. It is like a permanent reunion where you can learn who is where and doing what. Please invite all of your friends to sign up. Some people are very concerned about revealing personal information such as e-mail addresses. To positively avoid spam (from other sites) on your main working e-mail account, sign up for free e-mail on Gmail, Juno, MSN, etc. For security reasons, we have only listed names and yearbook pictures on the site. No person can register without prior permission from the site administrator. By joining the site, you are allowing fellow classmates (only) to see your information and contact you. The administrators will not enter information such as addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses etc. for you. Your information is password protected and you can specify who can see what.

Inside Information

I met Bill Justice at a Clearwater Chamber meeting shortly after he was named Mr. Clearwater. I congratulated him on his honor. He said "Aw shucks. I never thought I would be honored this way. I always thought I would be remembered for the D-Wing restroom."

This site isn't about waistlines, hairlines or credit lines...

It's about lifelines.

It's about reconnecting with our friends from some of the best years of our lives!

You can't live in the past, but it sure is fun visiting for a few days.
