ST ANDREW HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

CLASSES OF 1974 & 1976 NEWSLETTER

Volume 1, No. 1

April 30, 2001

Dear Ladies:

This newsletter will be primarily informational and serve as a very, very rough draft of what we hope to have in the future.

First, I would like to give a great big public "thank you" to Valerie Oliver for her major efforts in tracking down so many of our classmates. Valerie now lives in Italy and this project included many long distance phone calls, letters, and persistent follow-through. It is primarily because of her efforts that we have been able to get back in touch with each other in such a magnificent way.

We have also been able to keep up with Leslene Matthews' progress-something that we probably would not have otherwise known about. Valerie also sent Leslene flowers on behalf of the entire group. Thanks again, Valerie!

Secondly, I would like to thank Carolyn Henry Metz, an accomplished web page designer, who graciously volunteered her services and has already designed and is maintaining the website for posting information for our group. The website address is http://connect.to/sahsalumni. Please check the site out for yourselves. It is absolutely fabulous and I am sure you will be just as pleased with Carolyn's efforts when you see it. As soon as you are able, would each of you please go to this site, (you can do so by clicking on the highlighted address listed above) and update your contact information as thoroughly as possible. We are not sure if all that we have is current or correct, so your help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Carolyn has created a calendar which will list birthdays and upcoming events, an area for us to input our individual contact information, as well as several interesting links. As you

 

 

update information, it will go directly to a database, which Carolyn will maintain. The site also has an area where pictures have been posted. If you have any great pictures that you want to have posted-family, friends, etc., or any events that you want posted, please send them directly to Carolyn at her e-mail address, which is diazmetz@hotmail.com. and she will make sure they are posted here. If you have any articles for the newsletter, please send them to Kathryn at Ervin-thomas@home.com.

The website will be a great advantage because rather than waiting for a monthly newsletter, you will be able to go to the website at any time and catch up on the happenings. For example, if you know of an upcoming event in your area that you feel would be of interest to others, please notify Carolyn and she can get the info posted at the website.

However, while Carolyn will be maintaining the site, it is obvious that the success of this venture will depend on our individual participation. If we don't make the effort to update the information, send in pictures or articles, etc., then there will be nothing for her to post and the site will just be a wasted effort. But if we are diligent in keeping up, then we can have one of the best websites ever!

The website is a first for any graduating class from St. Andrew High, and is only possible because of the great technological advances available to us today. Since we are therefore trailblazers in this arena, let's make it count!

Hats off to Carolyn for her commitment in this area, and thanks in advance to all of you who will help us by keeping this initiative going!
