Support for Rob "Gunny" Fouts

At homecoming, we came together for many reasons, but one of the most important was to show support for a fellow Highty-Tighty alumnus, Rob Fouts, known affectionately as "Gunny" by all of his friends.  Rob is a Highty-Tighty of the Class of 1989, and he has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.  There is no cure for this terrible disease, and it always proves to be terminal.  Gunny has already gone on disability, because the disease has begun to show its effects. Click here for more about how Gunny was honored at Homecoming, along with pictures, a link to his blog and information on how you can help.

January-08 Updating the Database:

Click here to add or change your information in the alumni database. Just fill in the fields with the correct data and click submit. Note that your record will NOT be immediately updated. I have to process the updates before they show up in the live database. I will be updating at least once a week for the next month. Drop me an email if you notice problems.

Website Features:

One of the most important items remains our database where we try to keep track of all or our memebers. You are encouraged to check your class roster, make corrections as needed and let us know about any problems you run into. You can email any boardmember using the Board of Directors page. The newsletter is also available here in PDF format. Please note that dial up internet access is very slow on that link. Please check back periodically for updates on Band activities and important issues concerning our organization. We will alert you to new items that need your attention with the blue text scroller in the upper right corner of this screen. Please let us know about any questions or comments you might have about the website by contacting George McMichael.
