Dear Daryl,

A hint is, if you have decided to register (which you can do for free) to
include your email address contact in the body of information which asks for
your biographical details. I think the question is what have you done since
leaving school.

I have found school friends - and cousins (because I know where they went to
school) - on the site but to access their e-mail address you need to pay the
$20 annual fee. This also entitles you to submit to message and reunion
boards and submit your own photos. This seems a shame as I was going to
submit several old class photos. If you wish to contribute - why should you
pay? I am not prepared to pay the $20. I did however copy the education
details of my cousins schooling and pasted into the notes area of our
database (with source).

Kind Regards,

Elizabeth Pidgeon
