Open Letters

This section of the Web site allows classmates to post letter-like messages, reminiscences, comments, suggestions, etc. for all to read. As such, it is an open forum for communication by and to all classmates that goes a step beyond sending out individually addressed e-mail or postal mail.

This site is available to anyone with an internet connection, so to prevent non-class members from abusing this open forum you must send your "letters" to the Web site staff via e-mail (preferred) or postal mail where their authenticity will be verified before being posted on the Web site. This will cause a slight delay in the posting, but it will eliminate non-classmate material.

If the nature of your "letter" is likely to be controversial or personal, please use the postal address list on this site or the e-mail list available on request to all class members to specifically target your recipients. No anonymous "letters" will be posted. This open forum is not the place to get involved in any fifty year old feuds.

Letters received in electronic format (Microsoft Word, .rtf, or html please) will be placed into the Web page as text.  Letters arriving by postal mail will be scanned and placed on the Web page as a graphic.  If the nature of your letter is such that it requires photos or graphics to convey its message, such graphics or photos will be displayed with your "letter" as a thumbnail. Clicking on the thumbnail will provide a full-screen view of the picture or graphic.  You might have to use the Back button on your browser to return from a full-screen image to the thumbnail.

If you want to post a letter on this page, please review the submittal format information page by clicking on the Submissions button on the left.

To read the posted letters, click on a button below.  Clicking the return button at the end of the letter will bring you back to this set of buttons.
