Back in 2003 I set up a postnuke portal-type site for our 40th Reunion, and that was (IMHO) a bit of a flop, partly because no one but me actually posted anything (well, almost no one) - probably because it wasn't so obvious how to do so. Also it got hacked by spammers and pornographers, which was a hassle and a hazard, so I took it down.

By contrast, a wiki site like this is a little less susceptible to hackers, since anything can be summarily deleted and/or reverted and abusers can be locked out with a few keystrokes. Also if you have ever played with the WikipediA you know how this works and (I hope!) will not be timid about registering yourself, hitting that little edit tab and adding your $0.02 worth. Look what it did for them/us! (Of course, now they have their own problems due to the unprecedented impact of the world's greatest encyclopedia. Nothing fails like success.)

Naturally, avoiding spammers & porn entails a minimal level of security, in this case registration and approval. (If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it!) So that I can tell you're really "one of us", please use a reasonable facsimile of your real name or your C'brook nickname.

Anyway, rather than pretty up this main page, I'm going to leave that to you (for now) and add a couple of essential subpages (you can create more if you like):

Cranbrook Class of 1963 - Life Stories

Cranbrook Class of 1963 - 45th Reunion

Cranbrook Class of 1963 - 50th Reunion

Tribute to Ben Snyder

Cranbrook Class of 1963 - Memories

Cranbrook Class of 1963 - Gossip

Before I forget, please register before editing! It's a drag to have to keep deleting stuff entered anonymously, so the wiki requires you to log in before editing will be allowed. You need not reveal anything about yourself, but it would be nice to know who says what. (A name typed at the end of a message could be a fake.)
