Denise, you have done an incredible job with this site. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. You still amaze me even after all these years sis... thanks again.

Arthur (Art) Brownlee

Thanks Denise. You do an incredible job with keeping everyone. I appreciate all that you do and have done. I have learned so much about the class and folks that I never took the opportunity to know way back then. I look forward to seeing you and those who come to the reunion in just a little over a year. Thanks Again! - Art-

Thanks Denise, for putting so much time and effort into this and doing such a wonderful job. We've been talking every day on AOL through IM's, on Facebook,on the phone and face to face by going to lunch, but NOW I'm thanking you again on here!
I'm so glad you got that HP Pavillion now, and don't have to worry about losing what you've worked so hard on. Remember I have that "computer guy" if you need him.
Now...I just have to work on getting those embarrassing 8x10's off my profile page - ha ha! I changed it but the change did not take, so I'll try something else.

Thank you, so much Nancy, for writing about the much needed contributions to Denise for spending her own money for that laptop! I'm so glad you did that. I agree....it would be great if a lot of small contributions could help pay for it.

Some of you may have noticed that I gave Ted Stahl from the Class of 1970 "guest privileges" and he has done the same for me. I simply could not have done all of this without his help!! And I have every intention of "paying forward" whether it be the Class of 72, or any other class that wants to use this product. Thank you Ted!!!!!!!!!!!!

Virginia Julian Wells

Denise, I really appreciate what you did with our class's website! I understand, too, that you had to purchase a new computer in order to accomplish this. This website
is invaluable and really, priceless. Can we send donations in to help defray your costs?

Virginia,

I have received a few donations but have not reached my goal of having classmates help with 1/2 of it and I will pay for 1/2 of it. Originally I thought I would keep the notebooks separate but that really seems silly. I have one folder than someone could take off for Jerry (he doesn't know how to) in the event that something happened to me and someone else in the class could take this over and take the computer. Any help is greatly appreciated! Small amounts do add up. This did happen suddenly and I had no time to save up.

Hope you are enjoying the site. This week I came into the possession (borrowing of course) of FLYER newspapers so we'll see how they scan. Also hope to get our senior choir albums this week. Thanks publicly to Gary Deer for turning those into digital for me. The older albums I "borrowed" from Ted's class of 1970 site. He borrowed my "Fairborn Today" photo album. We don't believe in reinventing the wheel! Thanks. DKD

Greg Howard

Brava Denise! Like everyone else, I really appreciate the effort you put into this. The check is in the mail!

P.S. Sorry about that gigantic headshot. EGADS! I have no idea how to make it smaller.

Nancy MacFarland Barker

I deleted my prior posts about donations.I contacted Denise and she has received 10-12 contributions. She is happy and appreciative with the response. There are over 100 profiles on here at present- Thanks Denise- good job

I do thank everyone who sent donations. It was enough to pay for half the computer which is what I really wanted. I will be using it too for personal use, but also doing a lot of work for the upcoming reunion in 2011 and we can keep everything in one place.

For what it's worth, from my perspective, amazing things are happening as a result of this web site. These are the things others don't see. I hear about people talking to people they have not heard from in decades. I personally have talked to some people I wasn't even sure if they were alive!! And one thing seems to lead to another. It's fascinating to watch.

That's YOUR part. Call your friends or get in touch with them via email. That's how we grow this. I am very happy with the first seven weeks of this web site. I look forward to trying some new things (maybe failing!) in the New Year and seeing what we can do with this site! DKD

Sherman Patrick (Class of 1970)

Merry Christmas everyone!!

One score and nineteen years ago Fairborn High School brought forth on this continent, a new graduating class, conceived in the 50s, and dedicated to the proposition that all Fairbornites are created special.

Now we are engaged in planning a great class reunion, testing whether that class, or any friendships so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

Laura New Schmitt

Dear Denise,

     I am enjoying the website immensely.  Thanks hardly seems enough for the work you have put into the website.  I will make an effort to attend a lunch bunch meeting.  Keep up the great work and thanks again.
