Albany High Times

it began ... and where it's going!
Going into our
10th Year!!!
Tribe
Notes ...
from Beverly
Since August 18, 2002
In April 2002,
Charlie Stewart ('55) sent me the Albany Herald's
article on
Skywater
… the wonderful book about Radium Springs written by Morgan Murphy and
Lamar Clifton. I decided to type the article and email it to AHS students whose
email addresses I had collected, and suddenly I began to
receive "memories of Radium" from several classmates representing
different class years. I decided I couldn't keep those memories to myself and
not share, so I began to compile them, sending them back to the email
base. Then, something else happened ... folks from other classes
began to share memories of Radium and AHS - and as memories grew, so
did the email base. Keeping up with the memories ... to whom I had sent,
who was new and needed all of them, etc., became quite a job; so I decided to
create a few AHS WebPages
inside my personal website, at
www.bszacharias.com.
That's
when an incredible thing began to happen ... the WebPages reconnected
and bonded students who had lost track of one another over the years ...
and believe it or not, there was suddenly a whole lot of lovin'
goin' on!!! Moreover, folks that were not necessarily friends in high
school made new friends. And it just kept on growing … so much so
that I decided to convert the pages in my website to a completely
independent website for AHS …
THE ALBANY HIGH TIMES, which would tell of
"times" past, present, and future.
So here we are … having fun looking
back … and eagerly anticipating looking forward. Now the pages
number over 100, we
are heading
toward 80,000 hits, and over 2,000 email addresses have
been submitted representing classes from 1933 to 2006!
We continue to look for ways to
expand and/or improve this site as we add new subject pages – perhaps
you or your class would have an interest in participating. Please send
information or photos (in jpeg format) to:
albanyhightimes@aol.com.
