Plea from Bob Stokstad
Updates needed by July 15
June 26, 2008
Dear Classmates,
We need to get going on our class updates - where we tell each other what we've been doing in recent years. So, here's the plea.
Please send at least a few paragraphs and, if possible, a photo to go on the class website,
as soon as possible and hopefully not later than July 15 to rgstokstad@lbl.gov
**This will give your classmates more time to read your update before the reunion.
**It will help me get this information on the website because, after the 15th of July, I will be traveling a lot (including all of August) and will have less internet access.
Sending in an update is the most interesting and important "reunion thing" you can do now, even if you are not able to attend the reunion.
So, if you haven't already sent in your update, please do so soon, in the next three weeks.
Thanks so much,
Bob
ps.
If you'd like to see some examples, there are over ten updates on our site http://pirates58.googlepages.com (on the home page, click on class list)
And here are the guidelines for updates, taken from the website:
We are setting up an individual page for you on our class website. We are asking you to prepare an update on your life which will appear under your name on the web site. The update, memories and photos you send in will be posted on your own page.
As a guideline, we suggest you consider including any of the following areas:
- What your life is like now (work/retirement/volunteering/hobbies, etc.)
- What you have been doing over the past 50 years
- Special events, achievements and other information you would like to share
- Family life / Children / Grandchildren / Great grandchildren and what they
are doing
- High School memories of events, classmates, teachers, coaches, friends
We hope the memories you share will include a range of experiences – joyful moments, perhaps some unpleasant memories, fond experiences with friends, events and people that contributed to influencing your life during and after high school.
If possible, please send this information by e-mail (text plus an attached photo or two) to Bob Stokstad, rgstokstad@lbl.gov
Anything that you can include in e-mail please send directly to Bob.
If you need to send some information on paper (for example, a photo that you are not able to scan) please send that to
