Hi! This is Paul Dupree. I’m glad you found this website.
Yesterday I had lunch with Steve Hersey. He is in the states for a short visit and will be returning to Haiti where he lives with his wife and two children. Believe it or not, he’s a school principle, now. Anyway, Steve and I talked about mutual friends and family members and shared memories of growing up in Japan and going to school at Christian Academy in Japan (CAJ — I know that YOU know what CAJ is, but by spelling it out it will help Google properly index this post so that it will pop up on Google searches and if anyone is using Google alerts for that name it will show up there, too).
Before Steve and I ended our lunch we discussed the need to begin planning now for the 30th class reunion that will (or should) take place next summer – 2009. I suggested that it would be easy to set up a website (this website) so that we could have a presence on the Internet and make it easier to keep everyone updated on the plans as well as keep in touch with class members who can’t make the trip to whereever the reunion ends up being.
So, here it is. If you are a member of the C.A.J. class of ’79, then this website is for you. And, if you are a CAJ graduate that just stumbled across this website, feel free to visit and post comments to let us know you stopped by. Also, if any of the reunion organizers want to have administrative rights to this website so they can post things to it, just create a free account at wordpress.com and then let me know your account name and I’ll add it to the list of site administrators. Of course, you do not need to be an administrator to post comments. Anyone can post a comment without logging in or having an account. But, if you want to help shape this website and post new stories, then I can make you an administrator.
