We collect E-mail and mailing addresses on the DETAILS Page for Class Records and in the event that we need to contact you by e-mail, snail mail or phone. This information on your DETAILS Page is visible to Site Admins ONLY, will not be visible to fellow classmates and your information will never be given to other classmates unless you enter your CONTACT information again on your PROFILE Page in the appropirate slots and check [./] the box next to only what you want seen.

You can Edit your Contact Info, Profile Page, re-set your Notify Me preferences and Password, and send Private Messages via the Message Center anytime by using those links under MEMBER FUNCTIONS in the left column.  Our special security feature automatically blocks the public, all external search engines and spy-bots from accessing your Details and your Profile. 

We encourage you to add either your yearbook Picture or a current picture to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site when you post or reply to a comment. It's also helpful to upload a "Now" photo, and a "Then" photo. Classmates will enjoy seeing how you've changed and so they can recognize you at the Reunion! laugh

5. "MISSING" CLASSMATES

The wonderful part about this site is that it came pre-setup by Class Creator. We just had to enter a class list prepared over the years by your Hard Working, Ever-Lovin' Reunion Committee. The site assembles a missing list for us, based solely on the names of people who don't have profiles; so until you have a profile, the site will consider you "missing".  It also has a section that shows where all the joined Sting '60's live. Neat, Hunh?

Also, please note: We need your help to connect with EVERY MHS Class of 1960 STINGAREE. If you have information about any STING '60, listed or not listed, please Click CONTACT US on the upper left under the School Picture to send us a note with all you know.

Most importantly if you have information about or know of a Deceased STING '60 who is not on our MEMORIUM LIST, click on the IN MEMORIUM link on the upper left under the School Picture. and click the link, both at the top or bottom that says:

If you are aware of a Classmate who should be added to this page please let us know.

Fill in all the information you have and click SUBMIT

This will get it to us for inclusion on the MEMORIUM page.

6. ADDING PICTURES TO YOUR PROFILE

Adding current pictures is not a requirement to participate on the site, but it certainly is a nice way to get to know people again. We've had reports of classmates who were routinely running into each other without knowing it, because...well....we've all changed just-a-tiny-little-bit over the years! wink
