Hartford Union High School Alumni Group Now Forming on FACEBOOK

Well, "Old Timer," are you ready to join the young, modern world of the internet and "FACEBOOK?"

It looks like members of HUHS's "Class of '83"---who are celebrating their 25th Reunion this year in 2008---have put together a "facebook" page for any and all Hartford Union High School Alumni.

If you go to the "Hartford Union High School Alumni Group" facebook page at:

http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=27776726159

you will see the beginning of an "alumni group" information page for HUHS.

BUT, it appears you have to sign up and "join" the facebook community to view a "facebook page."

It looks like Phil Larsson, "Class of '83," found our "Class of '62" Blogspot with a "google" and has extended an invitation to any and all of us to join the group or at least add the facebook page to our "bookmarks/favorites" for future reference.

You can "click" on the Class of '83 web site at that facebook page and see how they have celebrated their reunions.

It appears to be a good way to keep in touch with Hartford Union High School news.

PLEASE NOTE: The website for Hartford Union High School at http://www.huhs.org/ has an "alumni" section that posts reunion information and also directs the viewer to an independent "alumni" web site that appears to provide a location to register as an alumni and join a group representing your class.

So, we "Class of '62" members can 1-keep in touch and keep up to date HERE at our BLOGSPOT, 2-keep up to date on reunions at the HUHS web site, and 3-keep up to date on reunions and the activities of other classes at this new "facebook page."

(Ain't this modern technology grand?)

Be sure to "check it all out."

7. The trouble with women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.
