19 Years Today – 1st Guestbook!

1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, 2010's, Band & Auxillary, General Announcements, Message Board, Nostalgia

March 31st, 2000 I posted the first entry in the Azusa Alumni Website. In those days the site was hosed on Homestead.com and AzusaAlumni began!

In 2002 I moved the site to its own URL, the same one it is on today. Through the years AzusaAlumni.com has had many changes, and so has the internet. I turned off the guestbook in April 2006, when bot spamming started taking up too much of my time. At that time we had 502 entries; 295 from the old Homestead site, 207 on the AzusaAlumni.com site, and 29 from the Marching Band Page. Several years ago I hid the entries, but never through them away.

As I update each class year page to the new format I thought it would be fun to copy the Guest Book entries into the appropriate pages as I go. I have enjoyed reading comments from old friends, some who have passed since then. I hope you enjoy them too.

To see the entries go to your class page from the top menu. If your page has "in the news" filled out I have updated that page with all that I have.

Who Moved My Cheese?

Can you believe how far this site has come since it's first appearance on Homestead.com in 1999? AzusaAlumni.com was my first website and got me interested in web design. Today it is still hosted and paid for by me. However most the content is provided by you. Thank you to all the alumni over the last 20 years who have made this site a success.

Original Homestead Site 1999

2001 Moved to AzusaAlumni.com

2010 Upgrade Design

2013 WordPress

 

You haven't seen much activity from me on social media or AzusaAlumni.com blog posts because I've been busy updating the site design to catch up to modern technology. The new Design has the important announcements up front and easy to find.

And is mobile friendly

 

The nearly 20 years of content is still here. I have 127 paged to manually look at and reassign custom templates to so please keep returning to see more. And THANK YOU for following us.

Keep the music alive!

In 2018, you can give beginning August 1st until 5 pm on September 14th

I played the flute from 5th grade until I graduated from High School, then played in the Bishop California Community Band a couple times right out of high school. I moved to Jackson for a summer in 1980 and stayed, life, work, family, children, and Jackson Hole activities filling my life and my flute collecting dust in the closet.

In 2004 I was sitting in the stands at my son’s little league game. One of the other moms, Nancy Ninnemann, who I also know from Boy Scouts, was talking about paying the flute. I told her I played the flute in High School, she immediately said “why aren’t you in the Community Band”. After a bit of arm twisting I agreed to come to a rehearsal.

I had not played with an organized group in almost 25 years and had not played more than a few notes in 20 years. I pulled my flute out of the closet and put it together. The Cork on the head joint was loose but it still worked and I could play a scale from memory. Remembering how to play it was like riding a bicycle, no problem. However remembering how to read music proved to be a bit more challenging, I pulled out my fingering chart and went to rehearsal a couple days later. Continue reading Music: Good for the Soul →
