Appropriate Use of Our Class Website

This site was created to be a place for the Broughton Class of 1965 to connect with one another to share memories and catch up, as well as to provide updates about class reunions. In addition, it serves as a resource for updated information about classmates.

It is not the place for posting or debating political, religious or other personal opinions and positions. In the event that such posts are made and deemed to be inappropriate by the site administrators, the posts (and any associated commentary) will be deleted. Anyone repeatedly making such posts may lose access to the site.

This virtual gathering space has served us well since our 50^th reunion  as we have shared personal news and sent birthday greetings to one another. It has also been a place to remember and honor those we have lost. We look forward to it continuing to serve those purposes.

Thank you.

New Class Website Feature!

Have you wanted to communicate with class members as a group rather than individually? If so,  you will be pleased to learn that we have enabled the "User Forum" feature of the website! 

We have added this page to provide a place for members of the class to post comments and questions and have a way to connect. 

You are able to:

1. submit your contributions, which will be approved by site administrators and posted to the forum. 
2. propose new topics under existing forum(s) (currently only one general one), or submit a proposal for a new forum to be created.
3. set up your preferences for receiving notification of new postings as well contribute to any of the discussions.

We are new to this, so bear with us as we figure it all out!

Please keep the prior posted announcement regarding appropriate use of the website in mind as you consider posting something:
