1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS WEBSITE

Return to Men

a.   The Class of 1968 website was started to help us connect and re-connect with our classmates (even those who may not be attending the reunions).

b.  Setting up your profile is easy. Everything you need to know is on this page. If you have questions, please contact James Love through the Contact Us message center.

c.   Our next goal is to invite you and your spouse to join us for a mini-reunion at Gettysburg in 2017. We also want to make this site a scrapbook of our memories. More information about this will be available soon.

d.  Our site is private!

 

2. PRIVACY NOTICE

Return to Menu

All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. The host of this web site, ClassCreator.com, is a locally-owned business. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites. It will not be shared or distributed.

Your contact information is private; your street address, e-mail address, and phone number cannot be seen by classmates. Each classmate has the ability to limit the visibility of his or her profile to only fellow classmates by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line your profile can be viewed by non members such as your friends or family, but also note your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines.

Finding your class web site Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:

  • If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow classmates, and then use a search engine to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by non members.

Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each classmate's profile page (just look under the classmate's main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact classmates without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so.

All class Email news sent from us to you via this web site: For those of you with spam blocking or email filtering capabilities, please add noreply@classcreator.net to your email account as a safe sender in order to ensure you receive email communications from us.

Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site it may be removed by contacting James Love. This will end all communications to you from the Pennsylvania Military College Class of 1968, unless you ask that special arrangements be made.

 
 

3. SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE

Return to Menu

In order to access the interior pages, you need to: set up a profile by providing a minimum of your email address, and a password.

a.     To begin, locate the "Classmate Profiles" on the tool bar, click and find your name on the alphabetical list. Click on it and follow the prompts to create your profile by adding as much information as you wish to provide.

b.     We encourage you to add a current picture to your profile. Your photo from the Sabre & Scroll has already been added. Adding a “new” or “current” photo of yourself will allow your classmates to help recognize you after all these years.

c.     If your name is not included in the list, but you were a member of the Pennsylvania Military College Class of 1968, contact us.

d.     Private information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates. The Reunion Committee collects mailing addresses in the event that we need to contact you by snail mail or phone. Your information will never be shared without your permission.

e.     If you change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update your Contact Info so we have up to date information. That way you'll always be in the know about what your classmates are up to!

2.      Missing Classmates

a.     The site automatically assembles a list “missing” classmates for us, based solely on the names of people who have not yet completed their profiles. Until you have a profile, the site will consider you "missing."

b.     We also need your help in contacting EVERY classmate. If you have information about any classmate, listed or not listed, please contact James Love.

Passwords:

Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be the high security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually the "remember me" will fail (for instance when you get a new computer). Please make note of your password!

If you forget your password simply click on "forgot password". If you have several email accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, contact James Love. This could take a while so please be patient.
