A special message to our members. There is a disclaimer on this site for “Missing Classmates”. The names listed are there because of a non-working email address - that is probably true for many. Don’t be fooled by the over 400 names listed- they’re not all “missing”. For reunion planning purposes, it’s not cost effective to make personal phone calls or produce mass mailings. We’re in the age of instant electronic contact. So what better way to reach our classmates then through our own alumni site?
I’m sure many received the initial announcement about this site in early 2013. But, for whatever reason have chosen not to join. Possibly they forgot, they don’t use email or have changed their email address, think they’ll receive reunion info via other social-media sites (face book, crosslandalumni.com or classmates.com), thought if their spouse had joined they wouldn’t need to, have passed away or just aren’t interested.
Here’s a few more thoughts on that list of alums who are listed.
John Gonge was listed as deceased on crosslandalumni.com Sept 2010
Steve Hutcheson has been assumed deceased for over 25 years
Jerry Jones is listed as deceased on crosslandalumni.com passing away 3/20/1994
Linda Roy passed away 10/01/2010
Jens Rygh, committee member, doesn’t use email or social media
Dennis Seaman, committee member, doesn’t use email or social media
Nancy Sharp is married to Rob Yesheck
Nancy Sladen is married to Pete Peterson
Open the “Missing Classmates” list - Who Can You Personally Contact by phone, text or social-media to join http://www.crossland68.com/? If you recognize a name and have their email address, click on that name and send a pre-formatted email invite from this site. Couldn’t be easier.
Do you recognize anyone who’s passed away, then select the Notify Me link and send a message to the site.
I’ll reach out via Face Book to: Tim Chaney, Pat Fry, Daniel Herbst, Edmund Hubard, Terry Hurley, Robert Kobilis, Bill Liddicoet, Stephen Packett, Francis Ryan, Sylvania Santa Ana, and Donald Smith.
Working together we can whittle this “missing” list down to a reasonable 20% of our class.
