HOW WEO GOT STARTED
In January of 2001, Kaye Tyler and I decided to promote a
class reunion for the West End High School graduates of 1959 through 1963. We
put together a committee and began planning for a reunion on October 6th. We
decided that a web site would be the easiest way to keep classmates updated on reunion
plans. The site went live on
February 25, 2001.
As word spread,
emails and photos poured in and new feature pages were added. By week 28,
we
had over 20,000 hits. We have since held
4 class reunions and 5 class
picnics.
* In
2004, the Classmates.com marketing director informed
me that
WEO was the largest
dedicated school reunion web site
they have seen and was very likely the largest in the world. WEO has since more than doubled in size, so
the same probably holds true today.
WEB SITE RENDERING
West End Online was
built in 2001 using Microsoft Frontpage, which was introduced before the advent
of tablets or smartphones. Frontpage coding enables pages to render properly on
desktop monitors and laptop computers. If you browse WEO on a smart device, you
may need to scroll in to enlarge text and photos for viewing (not ideal, but it
suffices). To correct this, I would have to rebuild WEO from the ground up using
more current software. Needless to say, with over 400 pages, this would be a
daunting task.
PRIVACY STATEMENT
West End
Online has only one purpose, which is to bring WEHS classmates together and promote reunion
events. Information submitted will not be shared with anyone, but
we can't prevent
site visitors from copying
information, photos or email addresses. West
End Online is wholly owned and operated by me and has no
outside affiliations
whatsoever.

NO FORWARDING E-MAILS
Please do not email
or forward jokes,
stories, virus warnings or such
as I am in touch with so many classmates that I
would be swamped. If you typically forward to everyone in your address
book, please remove our email
address, then come to this site and email me from here.
We
also request that you
not "reply to all" to our
emails or use information at West End Online
for any purpose outside of the intent of this web site.

KEEP
US UPDATED
Our final effort to update the entire WEHS database was in early
2015, prior to our last class reunion party. The only updates since have been from
classmates notifying us of changes. Since
going online in 2001 we
have lost track of over 125 classmates, so
be sure to
keep us posted if your info changes, especially email.
YOUR INFO AT
WEO
Email addresses for hundreds of classmates are posted on our
Email Friends pages (see the Friends section in the left yellow border). For
classmates that we don't have an email for, their phone number may be posted at
the Call Friends page. If you prefer to have your
contact information removed, please email and I will delete it within a few
days. |
