Class of 1984 - 25th Reunion Recorded

Courtesy of the information and photo in The Coon Rapids Enterprise Online of July 16, we were able to record the 25th Reunion of the Class of 1984 on the new wikispace. Check it out.


We were careful to leave out where the folks live, etc., so that they will get The Enterprise to read "the rest of the story!" Thanks, again, Charlie!

I look forward to hearing from you! ;-)

Moved to Missouri

Last week or so totally consumed with physical move from Emporia to Hollister, MO - our retirement home. Perhaps next week I will be able to get back to the transfer of information to the Wiki page, as discussed previously.

Little surprised I've only heard from a couple folks. Guess everyone is busy!

I look forward to hearing from you! ;-)

Old Alumni web site being phased out later this year

If you had not heard yet, it is very important to know that the old Coon Rapids-Bayard Alumni site:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/1956/crbschpg.html, will be removed from the Inernet later this year. We are in the process of migrating all the content to the new site:
http://coonrapidsbayardalumnipages.wikispaces.com/

The new Wiki Site will allow members/representatives of each class to make updates, themselves. Once we get through the transition, this will be really useful to all.

I look forward to hearing from you soon! ;-)

2009 Graduating Class added to wikisite

Added the 2009 Graduating Class members to the wikisite:

Thanks to the 14 May 2009 insert in the Coon Rapids Register.

I look forward to hearing from you soon! ;-)

1965, 1966, and 1968 at wiki site updated

This week I migrated the Class of 1965, 1966, and 1968 from the old site
[http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/1956/crbschpg.html], to the new site:
http://coonrapidsbayardalumnipages.wikispaces.com/
I'd love to have alumni from these three years check out the wiki page, make corrections and updates, or let me know what needs to be done. Each has good - but likely old - information. I'm especially anxious to update or remove old email addresses. THANKS!

I look forward to hearing from you! ;-)

Four Class Reunion Photos added

At: http://coonrapidsbayardalumnipages.wikispaces.com/
updated Classes of 1942, 1967, 1987, 1997 with reunion photos.

Will also transfer the roster information for these classes, from:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/1956/crbschpg.html

I look forward to hearing from you! ;-)

Nice Article in the Enterprise on April 9

There was a nice article in the April 9 Coon Rapids Enterprise urging grads and others to visit:
http://coonrapidsbayardalumnipages.wikispaces.com/
and this blog. Have had a few more hits, but not a lot. It sort of focused on reunions, so that may not have caught a lot of eyes. Hits went up by four or five, so I suppose that accounts for it.

Thanks to those who did stop by. If I can be of service, please let me know how. We'd love to hear from you about your class.

I look forward to hearing from you! ;-)

More Class Updates Posted

Reunions for the Classes of 1956 (5oth), 1961 (45th - both), 1962 (45th), 1986 (20th), and 1991 (15th) were added to their class pages at: http://coonrapidsbayardalumnipages.wikispaces.com/
Later, I also uploaded all the students in the Class of 2007.

Check them out!

If you will register (with your own User ID and password), you can edit these pages, as well. The Wikispace is a Web 2.0 collaboration software tool. Try it out. Happy to discuss. Comment below.

I look forward to hearing from you! ;-)

Updated Reunion Years Wiki Pages

I have been working today to update the wiki pages for the 2009 reunion years, and contacting those in those years about the free web space available: 1999, 94, 89, 84, 79, 74, 69, 64... If you read this, and know persons in those years, please contact them, have them read this blog, or, send me a note, or comment here.

2009 Reunion Planning - 2

Just got the following message from Doug Carpenter, in Coon Rapids, and am sharing for your planning information:

Aug 29th will be a full day of activities in CR including a "agricultural progress parade" in conjunction with 4 days of state level activities commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Khrushchev visit. We have invited Russian and US dignitaries to attend. It might be a good time for class reunions since it will be a great time to remember and celebrate the good old days. The only downside is there may be somewhere between 200 and 5,000 extra people in town. Information on the visit and planned celebration is available at www.whiterockconservancy.org.

Hope this is helpful in your reunion planning.
Of course, sure that you have your class set up on:

I look forward to hearing from you! ;-)

2009 Reunion Planning

As you work on your reunion plans for 2009, be sure to include the information both on the old pages: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/1956/crbschpg.html
and at the wikispace: http://coonrapidsbayardalumnipages.wikispaces.com/

I'll be happy to help you set up your own page on the wikispace - that you can edit and update yourself, and have linked to your class homepage on the wikispace.

Just contact me at: billsmith2003@gmail.com and I'll get you started!

Looking forward to hearing from you! ;-)

Added Class of 1928 plus

On March 2, 2009, I added the Class of 1928 information and set up the rest of the 1920s on the wikipage: http://coonrapidsbayardalumnipages.wikispaces.com/

I will try to be more faithful with these blog entries, so that the blog becomes more useful.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Dr. Bill ;-)
