ANNOUNCEMENTS
Turning 80. Those of us that have made it this far it is a true celebration. I am thinking of all of you as yesterday it was my turn. I guess we can no longer kid ourselves "We are old" but that's a good thing. We woke up on the right side of the grass. Wishing all of my classmates good health, happiness, and friends around you. Enjoy your 80's.
The Class Reunion held in the summer of 2022 was very well attended and everyone enjoyed a history lesson from Jim Owen, the singing of Ever Batavia, and just being with each other. A two day event held at TF Brown's (Mancuso's) and The Red Osier in Stafford, NY.
Until next time stay in touch and stay well. God Bless you all. Sandy Sterling Weiler

Reminder to Classmates
There are three ways you can communicate with classmates:
- You can go to their Classmate Profile page and leave a comment. Note that all your other classmates who have so elected will receive an e-mail notifying them of your comment and will be directed to that page where they can read it. You may want to use this somewhat sparingly.
- You can use the Message Center, under Member Functions, to write a directed private message to one or more classmates. If they wish, they can then respond directly to you in a private message.
- You can Post Announcement, also under Member Functions, which, after a few hours (for vetting purposes, keep it clean please ), will be displayed here on the Home Page for all to see.
Actually there's a 4th method too. You can use Message Forums (above Member Functions) where you can have more complex dialogues on subjects of your choosing with classmates who elect to participate.
Thank you!

At the reunion some of you were asking what was going to happen to the web site after the reunion. The planning committee, using funds that you all helped provide, have paid Class Creator, the host system, the necessary fees to keep the site going for another 5 years and it is our plan to keep it going.
We welcome more content, your active participation, and strongly encourage you to keep your profile current (both contact information and also tell us what mischief you've been up to) and maintain connections with fellow classmates.

We're still actively recruiting contributions (photos, clippings, etc.) from classmates' personal collections to be shared here. Root around a little in your sock drawer and show us what ya got!
Note: Photos should be sent to JCM@batavia61.com.
If you're unsure of how to do this, you might want to go to a commercial site (Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, or similar), give them the actual photos to scan and have them send the images to JCM@batavia61.com. Subsequently we can work out where the photos should go on the site, titles, etc.

We expect to be adding more capabilities in the next few months so be sure to come back. This is where the Reunion Planning Committee will first make their announcements for our upcoming 50th.

This site isn’t about waistlines, hairlines or credit lines...
It’s about lifelines.
It’s about reconnecting with our friends from some of the best years of our lives!
In March of 2011 Joanne Beck of the Batavia Daily News wrote an article about this site. Here's a link to that article.
