On Martin Luther King weekend 2000,
I got a phone call from Bruce, a high school classmate I hadn't talked to since
we graduated in 1965. He now works at a hotel in Japan, and he thought I
was in charge of the Class Reunion Committee. (I didn't even know there WAS a
Class Reunion Committee).
Anyway, we chatted for a half-hour (his nickel), and afterwards I thought, I've
got a 3-day weekend with nothing planned; why not drag out the old yearbook, put
the pictures on line, and set up a "connection center" where the Class
of '65 can get reacquainted?
Thus was born my Online Yearbook.
I later learned how Bruce got my name. My school has a home page, and one of the
subpages is a list of Alltime School Sports Highlights. The list went back
just to the late 70's, and I emailed them with the suggestion that perhaps the
1965 basketball team was worthy of inclusion. (The eventual state basketball
champion that year had two regular-season losses, and one of them was to us).
Well. Not only did they add the info to the sports page, but they also listed me
as the 1965 Class Representative on their web site!
I didn't ask for it, but since I was now the Class Rep, I decided to
represent the class the best way I knew how. And I am pleased and proud to
have been able to get the ball rolling with the Online Yearbook for the Class of
'65.
Now, almost eight years later, I think I've worked out most of the kinks.
This project has been wonderful for me, and for the many people who found each other after forty years.
There is no better gift you could give your high school than a class online yearbook. My manual will show you, step by step, how to get an ad-free site and set it up. But it won't take you eight years to get it right; with my manual you can avoid most of the dead ends and problems that I encountered along the way.
My manual is only eight pages long, but it does exactly the job it is advertised to do. You don't have to wade through three hours of material to find the few bits of vital information you need. As one customer wrote,
"Dan writes books for people who don't like to read."
In real life, I was a college instructor for over 25 years. I taught radio broadcasting, and my students told me I have a gift for making difficult tasks easy by breaking them down into step-by-step instructions. I used this method to put together this little instruction manual.
This manual is not available anywhere else, including web stores like Amazon. If they want a copy, they have to buy it from me right here, at the same price you pay.
