My Story

Don't Leave Anyone out in the Cold

In 2005, I was contacted by a member of my graduating class that was working on our reunion committee. He told me I was on the LOST LIST. I was shocked. I hadn't moved in 25 years and my parents still lived in the same house that we lived in when I graduated from high school. I wondered, "How in the world could I be on a Lost List."

Half of our class was listed as lost. Lost meaning the committee didn't have a way of contacting these class members. Nearly 150 people would not be notified of our 30 year reunion if contact information wasn't located.

Since my mother was extremely ill fighting liver cancer, I knew I didn't have the time or energy to help right then. I also knew when I lost my mother I was going to need something to help me stay busy. I told the reunion committee that I would help locate our class members if they would provide the list. Three weeks later they obliged.

Being on a disability, I had chosen to only search the free internet sites so that eliminated classmates or class reunion. I found Classreport.org. There was one person registered from our class. I registered. The side menu will provide you information about classreport.

I hesitated to volunteer as a class administrator because I was just one person in our class, not a class officer. I hadn't even gone to very many of our reunions. Eventually, I volunteered. I figured since I don't work anymore, I probably had more time to devote to a class site than most. But I knew nothing about web design. I found it didn't matter. It is very user friendly.

Through all the search efforts, we have reduced our LOST LIST to 6. The search continues. You can see who we are still missing on the next page.
