BolivarGrads.com Featured In Local Newspaper
BolivarGrads.com was featured in the Friday edition of the Bolivar Herald-Free Press. Editor Charlotte Marsch did a great job with the story and hopefully that will lead us directly or indirectly to some more Bolivar Grads. You can read the story HERE.
I have already heard from 2 people who have read the story. First I heard from Elaina Daniels (Kates) (Class of 1994) who read the article and loved the idea of the site. She wanted to know about Grads from her era -- Grads of 1992 and down. Well right now I am not currently tracking them down, however, I may open up the site to ALL BolivarGrads. That would be a major undertaking though because I would have to go from a "Blog" style site to a truly information website that would allow updates to be classified into Graduating years. I would also need volunteers from every "era" to maintain a section, because I just don't have the time to do it. It can be done though, and I will look into it.
The other person I heard from was Libby Friend (Farrell) (Class of 1984). She also read the article and gave me some great information. She also gave me the email addresses for Phil Friend (Class of 1985) and Melissa Friend (Fenton) (Class of 1987). I will contact them and try and get updates.
I have not heard from anyone new from our target range of 1985-1991 since my last post, but I am sure the Holidays have a lot to do with it. I really hope to hear from the people I posted in Bolivar Grads Most Wanted earlier. Since it worked for Terri Hoffman (Barngrover), I will post a few more that I hope to hear from soon!

The First Bolivar Chat Session!
The first Bolivar Chat Session happened on Tuesday night. We had 4 people turn out for it and at first I wondered if we would have much conversation since it was 4 people who didn't know each other too well. We had David Rash (Class of 1986), Tammy Brown (Jenkins) (Class of 1987), Kim Salam (Warren) (Class of 1988), and myself. We all logged in and ended up chatting for 40 minutes and it FLEW! We all admitted that we had a suprisingly great time as we caught up and talked about Bolivar. Next time we all agreed that we would like to at lease double the attendance, but we figured the Holiday week was a factor in the low turnout. I had emails from a few people who said they could not attend because they were travelling or getting ready to travel for Thanksgiving. Perhaps next time.
Hope to hear from more Grads soon!
