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.
Yes Kathy I received your package With the addresses. I thought I sent a reply to you that we can work it all it will be fine.

I, also, want to make sure to thank Larry Strack, for posting the reunion photos of this year's attendees. Some of us had great plans to be there, but something else just kept us away, but we were with each one of you 'in spirit' ....
I plan on attending both nights of the 2025 class reunion.
Sorry to hear that we have lost another classmate Elise Reid Banard. She passed away on October 3rd at home. She was a sweet lady. May she FLY FOREVER FREE UNTILL WE MEET AGAIN IN TH FINAL REUNION IN THE SKY.
So Sorry to report that we have lost another dear classmate Dawn Koistinen, has passed. Cheryl let me know but we don't have any particulars as of yet. So if anyone has anymore info about this please come into the guest book with that info. Or contact me.
Hi Karen hope that you will make a reunion soon. How is your new apartment? Is it just as nice as you described it in your previous message to the Guest Book? In addition to Pat Wild Franzens message you have such an active life it will be great to see and talk to you in person so I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will make one of our reunions in the next 2 years. You go girl. Hugs PJ
Elyse was a great person. Laurie Nord and I decorated their apartment when they got married. Condolences to her family.
I would like to volunteer to help with plans for the 60th reunion in 2025
Classmates, we've lost our classmate Howard Mackey. Howard passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, with his loving wife by his side. He courageously fought and beat cancer three times before dementia took over. Our condolences to his family. Thanks to Alyce Lenzen for letting us know about Howard's passing. You can view Howard's obituary on our Memorials page by scrolling down to his entry. The entries are sorted by original last name. An announcement of his passing has been added to the Home page.
Larry Strack, thanks for the reunion photos, great job.
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.
