Basic Directions

Hey Y'all!

It's Mark Dilling here and I am setting up a blog so that we can all post our own biography. I figured if we cover what we've done since Nashoba, spouses, children, careers, etc here in the blog we can all catch up before the reunion. All I could imagine was hearing myself say for the 24th time "yeah, I live in Connecticut and I'm a Field Service Engineer...." and the music shuts off and the lights go on and I haven't truly had a conversation yet.

So, with that in mind let's go over the basics that I have learned since the inception of JJ's blog.

1. All of you that sent a response to Robin that you would like to be a part of this will be invited to join. This means that you will be sent a link to your email. Go to that link and sign up. It requires a google account but requires minimal information and is free.

2. Once you are hooked up go to http://www.nrhsclassof87.blogspot.com/ and you can write your own New Post and include pictures (using the photo icon in the post toolbar - second from the right). For the sake of conformity (conform damn you! Yes Bob Quinn you too!) I suggest that you title your post with your full name (and Maiden name if applicable) so that we may choose which blogs we wish to view in a easily identifiable manner.

3. I will do my best to help you folks if I can at mdilling@zygo.com but I am incredibly busy with life right now as most of us are.....

As a note, this is a public domain so ANYBODY can look at it. Only those invited can publish but anyone on blogger can leave a comment and anyone with an internet connection can view it. I mention this because I would love to show you a picture of my beautiful 11 year old step-daughter but I will not post her picture here or anywhere on the internet for safety concerns. You will have to wait for the wallet picture. My decision may not be for you and your kids but I thought it was important to at least make you aware.

I want to thank Robin for all she has done for the reunion and for JJ's memorial fund - I will be forever grateful.

I also want to thank all of you that came to JJ's memorial. He would have been honored to be in your presence. I also want to apologize to all the people (Robin, Jeanie, Mary, Bob, Sally, Maryann, etc) that I didn't get to talk to - the whole ordeal was surreal and went too quickly. I hope you understand and truly look forward to hanging out with you during the reunion and scavenger hunt.

Peace and Much Love to you and yours,
Mark
