Title: Welcoming a Howard Native--Wayne Barnaby
Post by: genealogynut on February 05, 2007, 07:56:49 PM
Wayne, welcome to the "nuthouse" and make yourself "at home."  All of us here at the Forum will be looking for your postings.   As a courtesy, you might want to tell the rest of your family about this website.  I graduated in the same class with your sister, Geneva.

Welcome Wayne Barnaby.  Glad you are with us.  Bet you can tell some good stories about Howard and the people you grew up with.  Especially the people.

Has anyone else noticed how fast we are growing?

Hi Wayne, and welcome! You're bound to have a good time here.

Lois, I'm a Senior Member, but I think that's due to space rather than time. In other words, I've sure used up a lot of space (with my prolific writing) in a short period of time! Anyway, I guess I started posting in October or November (too lazy to look it up), so that probably puts me way out of the Newbie category. No matter. I'm pleased to be a part of this group.

Yes, Wilma, it won't be long until this forum will have nearly a quarter of Howard's population in terms of membership. That's fantastic!

Hey, Marjean, maybe an online reunion would work for everyone.  It would sure be cheaper.

A welcome to Wayne from Texas.  Hope you enjoy this site as much as I have.

Are you descended from O S and Jessie Draper Barnaby?  I am descended from Orean and Mamie Draper.  Lois, Janet and Wilma have all been a great help to me in finding out more about my family.

If the truth were known, I'd  guess that at least 75% of all the graduates are probably over weight.  I doubt if any of us weigh the same as what we did when we graduated!  Most of us have grown up and OUT.  Having an online class reunion would be lots easier, cheaper and not as time consuming.  What do you do about those that aren't online, though?

Lois, how good of you to think of the ones that are not online.  That would include a lot of people my age.  I was trying to think of who of my classmates might be on-line, then decided that most of them wouldn't.  But then, I am and I know 3 people in the 80's who are online and are active on it.  Maybe age doesn't have anything to do with it.

I am not going to tell you how much I weigh, but it is 50 pounds more than I did when I graduated.  That is less than a pound a year.
