You DO NOT need to attend the reunion to participate There is NO COST to participate. Each participant will receive either one or two full pages within the book. The book will be printed in color. The more text you use, it is possible that we may not be able to use all of your photos or the size of the photo may need to change. To participate: • Submit 3-5 pictures and rank them in order of priority of usage (if we can’t use all 5, we will use the pictures in order of priority). Fewer pictures can be sent if you so choose. The book will be printed in color. What you send will be presented exactly as submitted. • Caption your photos • Submit answers to the questions below. The questions are there to provide a rough template to follow. When meeting someone for the first time or someone you have not talked to in a long time, the questions below are usually some of the first ones asked. I added in a few other items in for fun.

Any books pre-ordered will help in reducing the per-book cost. If you think you will be purchasing a book – please indicate this when you send me your information. Once all submittals are received and the book is drafted, I will have more details around the cost. I may be able to offer an on-line version of the book.
