Photo Postings At Long Last

Was It Worth The Wait?

Here at long last are the official photos of the fabulous 40th Southwest High School Class reunion. You can view and even download photos by going to Webshots which I hope is linked below. I will test this, as I know many of you will to see if it works. If it doesn't then I guess I will have to open up my Webshots account to you all. Its at www.webshots.com.

Yea it works, it works, just click the photo's below and you will be wisked away to all of the photo's, well, not all of then I did some editing.

Unfortnately I could not post up all of the names in each photo. I tried, but too many of you have changed (and I haven't ?) and my memory is sooooo bad. I also did not want to make any errors in pointing out people.

So, you know who you are, and you know who your close friends are…. just enjoy. Next time I’ll try to come up with a better naming convention so that other people like me can figure out who everyone is. I’m told that the inability to recognize people, names, places, dates, gets worse as we get older.

Hey but look at this way, at our next reunion we’re all going to meet lots of new and very interesting people!

If you have more photo’s that you have taken and want to share over the our Southwest Blog, send Brenda or me an email and we will post up for everyone. I have a few more that I will post, but suffice to say getting all of these up took me much longer than I had expected. Sorry for that. But this site will allow you to download photo's for free. I don't know if they will be high enough resolution, but I will tackle that in my next blog session.

If you do have photo's post them up on Webshots and send me the link so we can share your photo's. If you have high speed internet it will help you a lot. If you have dial up........it couid take you a while.

Thanks again everyone for a great time. I am now just getting over the let down of the reunion. Its sort of like climbing a mountain or going into space and then coming back to earth. Ok that’s a real exaggeration but I still wish I had more time to spend with all of you.

Anyway enjoy the memories and we will post more photo’s as we get them.

Now, lets see if this works!!!!!!!

What Happened to Mike Hoffman?

Here is a note sent from John Filippello.


I just wanted to thank you for the tremendous amount of

work you did in creating a database of the 1966 graduates.

I spent this evening looking at what you had done, and taking

a walk down memory lane. I was very sad to see that Mike

Hoffman, who was a good friend of mine in high school and in

college, had died. Do you know anything about what happened

to him? In the fall of 1967 Mike and I double-dated to a party

held in the Stadium Club at Busch Stadium. The group performing

that night was the Ike and Tina Turner review. They were under

contract to perform until mid-night. When they took their break

at 11:00 p.m. everyone left except the four of us. The review did

that last hour just for us.

Can anyone help John find out more about what happened to

Mike Hoffman?
