Well, maybe not so soon...

Sorry to say that I've been consumed with a project at work and I've done nothing with the website [I have thought about it quite a bit though]. I didn't expect this work thing would last as long as it did and it should be over in a couple of weeks.

I'm hoping that after the first of the year I can get things going - I really am committed to doing this.

Several people have told me that they have misplaced their copy of the 1965 yearbook [the Manet] and I thought we could post it on the website. Ideally the pages that we post would have no writing on them and this makes it a little complicated unless someone had a pretty clean copy. I can also work from several copies and hope to find among them most or all pages.

If you have a copy that is relatively clean, or know someone who has, please let me know via NQHS-1965.org.

Also, there's a bit of work that needs to be done to build the site, and these efforts require just
moderate computer skills [like Word and or Excel] and is mostly grunt work. If you'd like to help out please let me know.

I envision a site where everyone could post pictures, bios etc about themselves [only if they wanted to and only what info they wanted to]. And while I know there are many social networking sites on the web, I'm certainly not trying to duplicate them [and we would allow links to them]. Ours would be totally free and customized to exactly what we want to do - which is to allow 1965 NQHS alumni to keep in touch.
