This blog exists because of Lesley Johnson Farmer. At our 40th Reunion Saturday night dinner, we had an open mike session. Mostly we shared stories of way back when. When Lesley took the mike, she pointed out the obvious: that we have a lot to share, we revel in sharing with each other, so we really ought to have Class of '71 blog to archive our collective experiences.
Being the recipient of a liberal arts education in the New England tradition, I know how to spot a good idea and run with it. Lesley's suggestion of a class blog was excellent and I have volunteered to put it into action.
The Whitman Class of 1971 blog is intended to be open to all members and friends of our class. Postings will be welcome from everyone. See how to join the blog at the top of the page. If you want to just read and comment, you can do so without joining, but you will need to join to post. I hope you do.
Most of us have scattered since we graduated. Much has happened over the past 40 years. Reminisces are wonderful; I look forward to reading yours. I also look forward to reading about your current lives, too. Any creative output is welcome: prose, photos, and poetry are a beginning. What will you add?
My high school's motto was, "What I am to be, I am now becoming." Where were you headed? What have you become?

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI plan on posting some pictures from our latest reunion, and eventually go back in time to earlier ones, but not just straight off. Here goes, in this new fangled technology my old brain is trying to get a grip on.
Hah, Now I find out out I can not post pictures on a blog site.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should facebook the class of '71 . . .
I think I have this up and running for primarily posting pictures and sent out about 14 invites.
