150th Marker on the Map
Heather (Simon) Risinger was the 150th classmate to place a marker on the "Where Are You" map. And if you haven't been up to the site in awhile, we've got over 160 photos up there too. But more importantly, there are now over 600 pictures that have been peeled out of photo albums, unearthed from tennis shoe boxes and sent in to us. Thanks a bunch. All of these pictures will be included on posters and signs at the reunion and of course many of them will be included in a nifty slideshow there too. We're sure looking forward to seeing you all there. Don't forget to register!
Relive the Old Times... Party at Melville's!
It only feels like yesterday. Pulling into Christi Melville's neighborhood and recognizing most of the cars on the street. Walking through the door of her mom's house, no sooner do you hear the music being dished out by Scott Biegel when someone approaches you and asks you to put your car keys in a bowl. Good times.
Well, it's time to relive (some) of those good times the night before the reunion. While Christi did manage to move outta the house, her mom is kind enough to once again open it up to the hoodlums of the ETHS class of '88. Whether you were one of her bride's maids or had to look up the name in our yearbook, all are welcome.
Please RSVP using the contact form on the ETHS Class of '88 website by selecting the "RSVP for the Melville rager!" subject. Thanks!
See ETHS Class of '88 Grads on Where Are You Map Listed by Name
There's a new "feature" on the El Toro High School Class of '88 website. By popular demand,
when you go to the
map, you will find a link below the actual map which provides you with a listing of all the folks who have contributed a marker to the map. Once you click on that link, along the left side of the page you will see all the names. Just click on a name and you will see their "bubble" appear on the map. Now it is much easier to find that person you've been looking for all this time!

101 Down, 508 to Go
A milestone of sorts was reached last week. Yup, we passed 100 markers on the "Where Are You" map.
Becky (Clift) Haines was the 100th fellow class member to place a marker on the ETHS Class of '88 "Where Are You" map. Cool that there's over a 100, but we can do better, right? Do you still have contact with anyone from our class that may not have placed a marker on the map? Well, tell them to get up to ethsclassof88.org and mark their location on the map. And of course, please keep those pictures coming!

Almost 100 and 100 (Markers and Pictures That Is)
We're inching closer to a couple of milestones here on the El Toro High School Class of 1988 reunion website. Stefanie Honell contributed a few more pictures this week (now posted in the nostalgia section). That brings the total number of pictures on the site to 81. And well over 100 have already been submitted too! We're just holding a few gems back for the reunion itself.
In addition to nearly 100 pictures now up on the ETHS Class of '88 reunion website, we are only 10 markers away from hitting the 100 marker milestone for the "Where Are You" map. Pretty good. But hey, that is still only a little better than 15% of our graduating class.

Where Are You?
We were still in El Toro, California in 1988. Some stayed nearby, others moved far, far away. Here is your opportunity to share with others in our class where you are living now.
By visiting the ETHS Class of '88 website, you can now see where fellow graduates are now by checking out our handy dandy ETHS Class of '88 grad map. By clicking on the markers, not only will you see who is living where, but many fellow grads have provided a bit of background on what they've been up to for the last 20 years.
Adding yourself to the map is easy. Just go to this page on our website, click on the "Add to the map" link and complete the brief form. Locations are only as specific as ZIP Code, so you don't have to worry about Mr Holst tracking you down 'cause of some styrofoam peanuts you poured into his car at graduation. Hmmm, I wonder who did that????
