This from Al Eisenbraun, who maintains it andmakesall
theentries: TheWebsitewasstartedbyDon Johnston [RD2, 64-67, passed
away 7/17/18]and myself after the 1998 reunion in Tacoma. Ihelped
get the information and Don built the site.Robert Tate (PN1, 57-59)
put together a site forreunionpictures in 1998 mostlywith pictures
hehadtakenupthrough2003.Hemaintainedandpaidforthesite.WhenDon'shealthstartedfailingItookover
both his site and Bob Tate’s site. Instead ofpaying for two sites I
had my son blend themtogether and transferred them toWeb.com, so
