Added some features
- When sending emails to other grads, you can now opt to send from the anonymous address (grad85@mikeshore.com) or from your own email. If you send from your own email address, the recipient will know your email address and the two of you can email back and forth normally, without going through this site.
- When creating or updating your profile, you now need to add a verification code by adding 4 numbers together. This is to prevent evil scripts from automatically registering on the site.
- I fixed a bug where if you clicked on a photo in the Reunion section you would get an error message instead of a larger version of the photo.

New email option
There have been intermittent problems sending email messages so a new option has beem added to the Profile section that will allow you to display your email address. If you enable this option, when someone sends you a message your email address will be displayed. When a sender clicks the link, the sender's regular email program will be used.

Major bug fixes
Thanks to the feedback from Sherrill, I have fixed two major bugs; one that screwed up your login password if you updated your bio, and another that would not update your bio if it contained an apostrophe. Both are rookie mistakes but hopefully things should run better now.

Happy New Year
Hello Windsor Grads,
To paraphrase our grad motto, "Stay Alive in 2005". Have a fun and safe New Year. If you have not registered on the reunion web site, take a minute and do so now. You can post a biography, add a photo of yourself (or your kids!) take the Grad 85 Quiz, get in touch with other grads, listen to 80's music, watch music videos from one-hit wonders.

Site Changes
I have combined the Bios and Grads pages into one page. The new page lists all the grads, whether they are registered or not, and by clicking on a highlighted grad name you get the bio information, photo (if they submitted one), and links to email and personal web sites.
I also changed some wording so the site is more of a 'Windsor Grad 85' site than a 'reunion' site.

Quiz Section Added
Think you know your 80's pop culture. Do you remember your teachers? How about the grad poll? Find out by taking the Windsor Grad 85 quiz.

Music and Videos Sections Added
I have added two new sections, Songs and Videos. These sections contain music and music videos from 80's bands. You must be logged in to access these files, because I do not want to share them with the rest of the world. By the way, if you work for the RIAA or MPAA please don't bust me!

Group Photo
Seeing as how the group photo did not turn out so well, I have added names to everyone I could recognize. The altered photo is in the Reunion section. I did not recognize a few faces, and I apologize for that. If you see a mis-spelling or a missed name please let me know and I will correct it.

Holiday Inn Room Special
Hi there everyone,
A few of us are booking rooms at the Holiday Inn at the bottom of the parkway the reunion night. I have spoken to the Sales and Marketing Mgr there and they will give us a block of 10 or more rooms at a special price of $99/night (single or dble occup). Suzy & Jim thought a few of you who, like myself, don't live nearby anymore might be interested in knowing about this. Also there's been talk of having an after-party down at Seymours Pub, which is located at the hotel.
So perhaps anyone who thinks they might be interested could send me a quick note back and I will decide whether or not to go ahead and block 10 rooms. They aren't asking for a deposit and they can be released, so it's not a big deal for me to do this, but thought I would try and gauge interest first before tying up the rooms.
For more info on the hotel itself the website is http://www.hinorthvancouver.com/contact.html.
Thanks and looking forward to seeing everybody next weekend!

Reunion Update
Looks like we have had an amazing response for our 20 year reunion. They're will be aproximately 80 grads attending.
My apologies to Jim Reid whose email was incorrect in our latest reminder. It is jreid@nvsd44.bc.ca.
As for parking at the Deep Cove Yacht Club, there is plenty of parking in the Panorama Park parking lot and there is also a parking lot to the right of the club over by the Deep Cove Canoe and Kayak location.
Many people have been asking about the dress code. It is a casual evening.
Brushup on your Class of '85 trivia, looks like there's going to be a quiz!
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Final Reminder
Dear Fellow '85 Grads,
Happy Halloween everyone! This is a final reminder (and deperate plea) that the deadline to RSVP and pay your $20.00 fee is now past due but it's not too late. We are asking that people please pay in advance for the evening so that our costs will be covered and so we do not have to collect money on the evening of the event. If you have already paid please disregard this email but please pass it on to anyone not on the email list that has indicated an interest in going to our reunion. Please mail or drop off your cheque to Suzy Koven at 3856 Lawrence Place, North Vancouver, B.C. V7K 2X2.
If you do not plan to attend please sent us a quick email so that we can adjust our expenses. If you have any questions or concerns at all please feel free to email Jim at jreid@nvsd44.bc.ca or phone 604-980-7710.
Warmest Regards,
Jim Reid and Suzy Koven

Wither Grads?
I have not heard about a 20-year reunion so I thought I would put up this site to try and contact some grads. I do not know if I want to organize a reunion, but at least we can get people organized on this site. If you have any reunion ideas please let me know, and I will start posting information here.
