Guest Book
The Guest Book facility under our new web site hosted on myevent.com works similar to how it did under the old homestead.com hosted site. You just need to enter your name and an email address to post to the guest book. So feel free to post here as you used to do under the old site
The steps to making a post to the Guest Book are:
- Click on the "Post Comment" button.
- Compose your post in the resulting post composition box.
- Click the "Submit" button below the post composition box.
Note, do not click again on the the "Post Comment" button. That will instead cancel your post.
Note: Guest book posts are subject to filtering which is trying to prevent spammers from posting advertisements to the site. That filtering will report that "something is missing or incorrect" and not allow you to submit your post.
- Mainly, that filtering is trying to prevent any potential web address (URL) phrases like "xxx.com", "xxx.net" and the like from being included in the content of your post. Unfortunately, the filtering is rather agressive and reports the error in many cases where a period character is embedded within simple, non web address, character strings. Even a number reference like "3.5" has triggered the error.
- So if you encounter a warning preventing you from submitting a post, look through the text of your post and remove or modify any web address like reference to something in words like "xxxdotcom" or "xxxdotnet". Or remove the embedded period within any other type of string that might contain one. For our number example above, the change from "3.5" to " 3 1/2" worked to avoid the error.
I would also like to add a message to note that I would like to volunteer to help with our 60th East High School class reunion in 2025 Pat. I would appreciate it if you would keep me informed and add my name to the list of people who have volunteered. It you pm me privately, I will be more than willing to provide you with my personal cell phone # so that you will be able to reach me easier. I also have a nice private location where you and the rest of our 60th volunteers can meet. I hope you and everyone from our class are enjoying a nice summer!! Karin H
Sorry to hear of Howard’s passing. My thoughts and prayers for his family. So sad that we are loosing so many classmates.
Thank Kathie for your message and offer to help with the 2025 reunion. Thank you for the offer and will contact you when we get a little closer. Enjoy your trip to Idaho. Your message didn't appear here in the guest book but came to me personally. So your message didn't appear for all to see, unfortunately. If you want to send a message for all to see you need to go to the bottom of your message and look for a green arrow and then it will post to the guest bookd for all to see. Thanks Kathie.
Just to let you all know, you can view Lanny's obituary on our Memorials page by scrolling down to his entry. The entries are sorted by original last name.
Just passing this along which came directly to me by way of a response to my prior Guest Book post. Bob Marlowe reported: "The Lord willing, I will be at the reunion both nights. Looking forward to visiting with former classmates." For anyone else who would like to report on their plans for attending, it would be best to do so by posting a new Guest Book message on the "Guest Book" page. The steps to do so are provided near the top of that page. Adding a Guest Book works the best because that will be forwarded out to all our classmates rather than just going to me.
