The people whose names you see here as contributors, have gone out of their way
to help this project. ALL of them spent their own hard-earned money, to send me
information. I'm grateful far beyond my abilities to adequately express my
gratitude to them. Their only reward is knowing they helped.
If you have contributed and YOUR name is missing, it's an oversight on my part.
Please write and correct me. I return ALL submissions, but I keep copies of all
the materials sent to me, whether used on the pages or not. I have a wealth of
info on many classes and individuals. If you have any questions, drop me a note...
I MAY have the answer.
In a nutshell, I need scans of FMHS Annuals, Caloosahatchians, for two
purposes. One is to extract the pictures of seniors to display on my web pages.
The other is to archive the whole book for each year for future
generations.

Looks interesting, but has some really annoying popups that re-pop with every
use of the internal links in the page. Still worth a look.

When these pages started in 1996, there were only a few sites devoted to high
school reunions. A recent web search turned up a number of both personal and
commercial sites devoted to the subject...so many that I can't list them all,
but here's a few samples that may be of interest. ALL of them charge a fee
for truly useful information:
Reunion.com (general)
Reunions.com (high school)
Yes, they seem like the same site, differing only in one "S"!
