  About this web site

A few years back a comment was made at the Alumni Banquet  that the Association needed to look into setting up a web site to maintain communications among the Association members - snail mail postage was becoming a significant expense. Richard Harshman, class of '45 and I (Russ Crawford, class of '60) volunteered to do the research. Dick and I had a a few conversations then he had some personal issues come up. Richard Harshman passed away in 2013.  To make a very long story short, this web site has been evolving since 2012 as a communications tool for the members of the Thorntown High School Alumni Association. (The Association is the official keeper of the membership data.)  My personal priority has been to honor those who have passed. Secondly, I have tried to encourage members to get reacquainted with their old classmates. (Our youngest Association members graduated from high school nearly a half century ago.)

Several Association members have pitched in to help keep this web site from becoming a cob web stite. David Cook, Terry Fisher and Martha Maiden Randel have pitched in to help with photography and updates.  We could always use more help. If you have a hankering to help, please let us know.
