Well, here we go.
The first post of my fist ever attempt at blogging.
I guess I should begin by explaining why I created this blog. Good place to start, right?
The basic idea is to have a place where info, ideas, pictures, news, blues, and all that jazz (yes, I'm listening to WGLT), can be presented to all Purple Raider alumni from 1977. A place where helpful comments are welcome and discussion is encouraged. A place to kill some time and relax when a break is needed or we are just wanting to stay in touch. A place to fill the lonely hours until our next reunion. Well, maybe not so much (we all have lots to stay busy with), but you get the idea.
Being new to this blogging thing, I'm sure the look and feel will undergo some tweaking as time passes. I'd like to add the Purple Raider head to the site, but I'm not sure if I have to get permission from anyone. If not, the Purple Raider himself with be here soon!
Other than sharing this basic information, I would like to encourage all of you alumni to help me make this a place you want to stop by. Send me ideas about Raider events you would like to keep up with, or things you are involved with you would like others to know about. I will do my best to keep you all up to date.
Until next time, Go Purple!

Wow! You've entered the blogosphere and are taking us with you! How cool.
It was great to see you and Janet (and everyone else) last week. You did a super job on everything!
Next time I'm in town - let's get together - (or if you're ever up Chicago way - give me a shout! That goes for EVERYONE)

Wendy,
Hey, this site would be a good place to let people know if/when you will be in town, or set up a get-together with a group of friends, or just stop in and say hi. :-)
Of course, I'm still learning, so I'm not sure how everything works, but if you have anything you would like me to put on the front page, email me at 1977bhsraiders@gmail.com and I will make sure and post it.
It was wonderful to be able to catch up with you a little bit and I hope we will run into each other again soon! We still take my daughter up to Children's Memorial in Chicago a couple of times a year for check-ups, so I'm pretty sure we might be able to find our way through Evanston. Keep your eyes open! :-)
Talk with you soon!
Bob
oh my Lord....I am completely dizzy from entering cyberspace and attempting to blog. My daughters were hysterical when I had to ask for help getting this far and are not sure they approve since I might be talking to child predators like I always ask them when they are online. The reunion was so fun and I can not imagine all the hard work and time it took to connect and keep us connected. I will try to read and re enter cyber space soon....until then many thanks and can't wait to see the evidence....oops...I mean pics from the weekend. cheryl B P
Cheryl, you are killing me! You are so funny! I just love you! Thanks for giving my wife directions so she could carry my buzzed but home! BMBO.
