Entering Your Profile

Soon after you enter your information, we'll add your picture from the Echowan. Besides tons of information about you, you can upload a current photo and a paragraph or two about your life. What has the last fifty (plus) years meant to you? Marriages? Children and grandchildren? Careers? Travel? The meaning of life?

For security, only you can enter information on your personal record. You will establish an ID and a password. Any information you enter will be displayed (with the exception of your Email address), so if you want to maintain privacy over certain items (phone number, for example) don't enter it in your record.

Please do include your Email address so that we can communicate with you from time to time. (We will NOT display your Email address.)

A reminder to those classmates. If you entered 'retired', it would be great if you would add what you did 'before you retired'.
