| Welcome to the third edition Hi, Everybody! It’s hard to believe it has been three months since the last newsletter and even harder to believe that we’re already halfway through 2003. Time seems to fly by faster and faster. Guess that’s how the 38 years since graduation have piled up behind us without us really even realizing it! Have you visited the web site lately? A lot of new features have been added……..a faculty page, an old photos section (remember Miss Closter at Park Side?), a quick list of classmates who have submitted pictures so you can go right to them, a chat room, etc. Charlie has been working very hard! As of July 2, 2003, 88 classmates
are participating in the web site. That’s an increase of
12 since the end of March. Fabulous! Of course, the goal is to
have all classmates participating. Be sure to mention the web
site. to any classmates you encounter who aren't aware of it and
convince the ones who are aware of it but not participating to
contact Charlie with their e-mail addresses. |

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! A huge dose of gratitude
goes to our classmates who have made financial contributions so
the web site can continue to run and be made better and better.
Millie Ito is sponsoring the server (no server, no web site!) for
a year, Lyn Headrick is sponsoring the chat room (more on that below)
for a year and Dan Baker made a cash contribution for Charlie to
use on the web site any way needed. Your support is greatly appreciated
Millie, Lyn, and Dan! top |

The profile of at least one classmate, with his or her permission, will be featured in each newsletter. Following is the profile that Gina Bonini Nimmo submitted for the newsletter. She has had an interesting life, as you'll see. Gina is into drag racing………and she’s darn good at it! She has a whole slew of trophies to prove it. On top of that, she volunteers her time to help educate kids on safety issues. Way to go, Gina!

| Have you tried out the chat room yet? It’s a great way for classmates and their family and friends to get together and plan an event or an outing or just chat, etc. If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot. It’s fun! All you have to do is set a date and time with a friend or group of people and log into the chat room. When you click on ‘Go To The Chat Room’ on the home page of the Analy web site, an ‘Enter Network Password’ window will pop up. The user name for the window is appletown and the password is 95472 Click ‘OK’. You will be taken to the chat room page of the web site. Press the green, navy blue and white button that will appear. The chat room will begin to load. This may take a minute or so but there is a progress bar that shows how far along the process is. Once the chat room is loaded, a window will appear where you will create and enter your personal ID and password. To create your ID and password, press the 'New Account’ button. Once in the chat room, you will be taken to the default room of ‘Lobby – 1’. If you are the first one of your group to arrive, you will need to create a room for your chat (the name of the room should be decided on when the date and time of the chat is set so everyone will know which room to meet in just in case there is more than one). To create a room, click on ‘Room’ in the toolbar at the top of the screen and follow the instructions. If the chat is to be private just for your group, a password can be put on the room when it is created (be sure the whole group knows the password when the chat is arranged). If your group’s room has already been created when you arrive in the chat room, just select the room and click ‘Join Room’ at the bottom of the room name window. Once in the room, type what you want to say in the ‘Message:’ field at the bottom of the chat window and press the ‘Send’ button. The message field holds only a limited amount of text but you can send your messages in multiple parts if they’re longer than the field will hold all at once. If your chat is a planning session and a transcript of the conversation is wanted so everything can be remembered, choose ‘Room’ from the toolbar at the top of the screen and select ‘Start Session Protocol’. When exiting the room at the end of the chat, you will be prompted to save the script and copy it to whatever application you wish. When you are ready to exit the chat room, choose ‘File’ from the toolbar at the top of the screen and select ‘Logout’. Chat rooms that are created are not permanent. When the last person logs out of the room and the chat room application is exited, the room and it contents will automatically be deleted. Or, the room can be manually deleted by selecting the room in the room name window and choosing ‘Room’ from the toolbar and then selecting ‘Remove’. Give
it a try now, and have fun chatting! top |

evening at 7:00 beginning July 15 in the ‘Tuesday Chat’
room. Be sure to log in! It’ll be fun to get everyone together
and catch up on what’s been happening and chat about whatever.

You can’t send Charlie too many photos. He loves to get them! Send him photos of you and/or your family and/or anything that relates to you. If you have already sent photos, send updates from time to time. That way, the web site. can be kept fresh. Also, any old pictures for the ‘Old Photographs’ pages would be much appreciated. Photos can be e-mailed to Charlie or sent by mail
to 1275 4th Street, #346, Santa Rosa CA 95404. Any photos that are
mailed to Charlie will be returned. top |

| Memorial Pages Memorial pages are being created for our deceased classmates. Please
send any information you may have about the circumstances of their
deaths, photos from throughout their lives, memories about them,
etc. It would be wonderful if pages similar to the one for Linda
Pappas could be created for all the deceased classmates. top |

Volunteers who would like to contribute some time and effort and ideas to helping grow and improve the Class of ’65 web site are continually being sought. If you would like to help, just email Charlie and let him know. Your efforts and ideas would be most welcome. In addition, we are looking for those people who
were involved with planning the last physical, 10-year reunion to
participate in the web site. It could be a valuable orgainzing tool
for the 2005 reunion. top |
