West Covina High School Class of 1963 Reunion

For those West Covina HS '63 grads, you can click above and link to the 50th Reunion site to see a list of Classmates who have been found.

For a change up how about a great bowl of chili. I was treated to this fine chili on a visit to friends down in the south. Pile on the diced onions and shredded mexican cheeses and get outta my way! Along with the chili I was introduced to Crystal Hot Sauce, a great add to the mild chili. It has the aroma of Tobasco without the bite.

I was just over reviewing www.wchs63reunion.com . Our class homepage could really be so much more. It is my hope that classmates can and will go there and connect, converse, and reminisce ( where's the spellcheck on this thing ). The link to Debbie's old class photos are a hoot, now I just need stuff from the Lycurgean or personal pics to share on the site. Would be super if West Covina Hi class of '63 folks would send me some with permission so I could pin them up. bud.mccreadie@wchs63reunion.com.

I am open to suggestions from classmates about the homepage, too !!!

There is good progress made in learning how to create a web page through the Fort Vancouver Regional Library's ED2GO program. The online course "Creating Web Pages", instructor Alan Simpson, is well structured for my seniorosity. It is interesting, fun and challenging all at once and I truly am learning this HTML source code at a high rate. Surprising, it seems to be sticking in the gray matter under my whitish hair.

Today, I talked with Sue Hunter our reunion planner-in-chief. The 50 year reunion for West Covina HS class of 1963 is going to be in the second week of October, 2013. Palm Springs is the location and the site will be announced as soon as it is set up. A weekender is being planned with a Social event Friday and dinner/dance Saturday evening replete with a DJ spinning the "Oldies" for us.
 
So, it is 11 months off and we have lots of name gathering to do. If anybody knows a West Covina High School class of 1963 member please let them know to search us up on the web and get signed up.

West Covina High School Class of 1963

By dang, I did something right. Internet surfers, and hopefully classmates can now do a search and find www.wchs63reunion.com . Robinson's call got me back on the iPage control panel. There I stumbled onto the Google Webmaster Tools Portal where it was a refresh or re-generate that got the keywords for the webpage up on the net (I think). Now, searching "West Covina High School class of 1963", or West Covina High School Reunion gets www.wchs63reunion.com up on the very first google page.

This is becoming quite a journey for this old boy.

West Covina Hig School Class of 1963

That's Sammy Spartan up there. Everybody from West Covina High School back in the 60's knew Sammy. I'm from the class of 1963 and started this blog to find and notify classmates for the 50 year class reunion coming up in 2013. There is a website, www.wchs63reunion.com ,  for classmates to put their names in to Sue Hunter who is organizing the reunion.
Unfortunately, being internet and for sure webpage making deficient I published the wchs63reunion.com site, but nobody can find it. Good old Tim Robinson just emailed me today saying that he tried doing a Google search for West Covina High School 50 year class reunion 20013, but got nada.  After publishing the site I thought I did a Google thing with keywords where I entered words that were supposed to bring up the wchs63reunion webpage. Nope.
Maybe this blog will help reach some WCHS '63 classmates and head them to the www.wchs63reunion.com website so Sue can capture them and add them to the mailing list for the 50 year reunion.
Meanwhile, Ive enrolled in an internet Web Building class thru the library to learn how to do this internet webpage thing. If classmates from West Covina High School class of 1963 miraculously see this blog email me at bud.mccreadie@wchs63reunion.com. And Tim, if you see it call me.
