Don Wesson, HPHS class of '66, suggested we try and preserve some of the HPHS memories and events shared by our remaining "Greatest Generation". "The "Greatest Generation" is a term made popular by journalist Tom Brokaw to describe the generation who grew up in the United States during the deprivation of the Great Depression, and then went on to fight in World War II, as well as those whose productivity within the war's home front made a decisive material contribution to the war effort," In other words, if you have family members who graduated in the late 20's, all 30's and 40's class, we would greatly appreciate their feedback on the following survey.
Three methods of completing the survey …
1) If you are a member of the '59-'63 website, you are welcome to fill out your survey online at the
HPH_59-63comcast.net website in the upper LH column of the homepage.
2) If you prefer, you may write the survey out and send a copy to HPHS_59-63@comcast.net.
3) You may also record a video of the individual classmate, while asking the questions, identifying
the name, age, contact information and year of graduation at the beginning of the tape.
We will eventually compile and transcribe all feedback into a document that will be preserved in the archives of the Grand Alumni Association. I'm looking forward to your response. Thank you kindly for your participation.
You must be a member to submit this survey. If you are a member please log in first. You can't submit this form until you've logged in.
