Classmates,

I think we had a great time at our reunion - reconnecting with each other.   Thank you all for coming.  The band was great.   I hope all of those that happened to catch Covid are all over it now and feeling well.  I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving with their family and friends and enjoyed all the wonderful food.

Amos has posted on our Facebook page the information about where he is placing all the pictures that he took and directions on how we can access them.   His instructions are copied below as we realize not everyone is on Facebook.

The Shared Email list that I am working on should be ready soon.   I have had some people respond just last week.  I will email it to those wishing to participate as soon as I can.

Ron Taylor has a news item to share with us.   You can click and view it here.

And Jeff Place sent in a Virtual Reunion submission for us to read about his endeavors.

As always, I can be emailed at either:

jlbuckley@aol.com
            or
jlbuck73@gmail.com

Hope everyone will have a wonderful Christmas and blessings to all.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Here is what Amos said on Facebook about the reunion pictures.

I am almost done uploading 50th reunion photos to a photos.google.com account (fchsjaguar73@gmail.com), whereupon everyone who would like to access the photos can provide their email address to me at fchsjaguar73@gmail.com so I can individually provide access to download and/or view at original resolution.   Because of storage requirements, I decided to compress the photos using jpeg compression while preserving original resolution, but each photo is still roughly 18MB or so (otherwise the uncompressed images would be 5 times larger).

Although fb degrades photo resolution upon upload to their platform, you can still see a representative sample of one of the ~200 images I took.   I was pleased that the lighting was sufficient to capture everyone's face pretty much equally, and that I was able to step down the f-stop to gain sufficient depth of field (focus depth).
