The Class of 2005 and 2006 and all cooresponding profiles have been added. Thank you to everyone who has gotten on here to submit your profile information. If you aren't up yet even though you've made a submission, it's because I'm working my way down to your class! Julie Nichols McCauley, Rebekah Johnson, and Caleb Bond were all added. I'd like to see more forms, so encourage your friends and classmates to submit their info. This site will prove to be incredibly useful when I am 80 years old and creating FGBI's 75th anniversary yearbook. ;) My mind's already reeling with ideas... Lol.

I adopted a more systematic approach to building this website. At first I thought "seniority" was the best option and would do first class first, and go down through time in order. Then I thought "demand" was probably better because information on people from those early years is pretty hard to come by. Now... after entering people and classes for several days randomly as demand requires, I decided that going backwards... newest class to oldest will probably be the most efficient way of completing this HUGE task. The newest classes are the highest demand, and have the most readily available information. I have also decided to go ahead and build a profile for each person whether or not they have submitted information. This cuts down on the likeliness of broken links in the future. It may be slow work now, but it will save me oodles of time in the long run. So... Classes 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008 have been built, and each person in them has a profile. The profile is likely pretty bare, but... our alumni can fix that. So... if you are in Classes 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008, SUBMIT YOUR INFO! :) More classes to come.
BTW- I appreciate everyone's patience! We have over 1000 alumni so... this will take awhile! There is now a place where you can submit obituaries for Alumni and Associates that have passed away. Under "Request and Submit Information" is a link for Obituaries, a link for birth announcements, and a link for wedding announcements so others can be informed of important life events. Eventually, when these things start coming in, we will have a designated location for the various events for people to look through and read.
Class of 1964, 1966, 1967 were added. I have no profile information for these early years. I had to skip 1963 and 1965 because I don't have pictures scanned in for them yet... and our scanner died last year after the 1000+ other graduates were scanned in... Anyone want to donate funds for a new scanner? Lol. (Just kidding...)
Also, added a couple profiles... under 1982 and 1995. Would like to get some more profiles up. Encourage your alumni friends to submit their info! Thanks! Added the class pages for 1962 and 2007. No profiles for either, but the class page is ready to link to submitters. :)
Added Class of 1983, Dennis Greeno; 1984, Donna (Faulkner) Greeno; 2008, Nancy McDaniel, Tina Kohlhoffer; 2009, Sarah (Hollinghead) Burgess; 2010, Ashley Rosson.
The Class of 1983 page has been added! I am needing pictures from that year for the slideshow at the top of the page. If you have pictures that pertain to 1983, we would be most appreciative if you could email them to us! My email is [email protected] Thank you so much!
A few members of the Class of 2009 submitted their information through the website, so I decided to build that page, and the profiles for those who sent me info. Check them out! Once again, the fastest way to get information on here is to submit your info!
The Class of 1961 is ready to go for now. Information on the individuals in the earlier years is very difficult to come by, so if you have some, please submit it! We would be so appreciative! Right now I only have information for Joseph & Virginia Dutka.
My intention was to systematically add one class at a time, oldest to newest and build individual profiles through information on hand. Because early information is not readily available, I am more inclined to go with the classes I have the most on hand information for. To increase the chances of your class getting up here quicker, please submit your profile information! Thank you so much! Feel free to explore the rest of the site! It's been a long time coming, but I have now got my ducks in a row and this site is underway! Thank you so much for your patience! This will be an "on-the-side" job for me, so progress will likely happen in spurts. To be informed anytime there are updates, all you need to do is subscribe to this blog. I will let you know any time updates are made, and I'll try to list them in my blog.
Since there are so many graduates, this project is going to take me awhile. My plan is to begin with the Class of 1961, and move forward from there. Each class will get a page, and every alumnus with available info will get a profile page. You won't get to operate your profile (this isn't a social networking site) but you can submit information through a form. There will be a link on every profile page that allows you to submit information to us, regarding yourself or another graduate. If you want to send us a current family picture, please e-mail it to us at [email protected] All information sent to us is posted at the discretion of the moderator. Also, if you want contact information for any alumni, just click the link on their profile, and fill out the form. We will seek their permission before any contact information is shared. I hope you will enjoy the new site! I will work diligently to make it the best it can be! |
