I should probably rename this section
About Me. Not because I'm some ego-driven jerk. But because the
Wagar High School Alumni Website
is a one-person operation. (That person is me, Darryl Levine, class of 1991.)
The idea for an alumni website wasn't original. When I started this website in
spring 1999, Classmates.com had been in business for a few years. I didn't want
to be Classmates.com, however. I just wanted a place for folks from the class of
1991 to post their contact information and biographies for free.
But then grads from other years asked if they could be
included. So I added their info too. Soon I was receiving info from grads of all
years.
The popularity of the website was a mixed blessing. I was happy I had created
something of value. But it was a pain in the ass to update the dozens of bios I
received each month. For those familiar with web programming, I was creating an
HTML file for each alumni and updating an HTML file containing the class list.
It was a long and tedious process.
I eventually bought some software to automate the website. Users would now
create an account, add their own info and search for others. You can view the
new alumni area
here.
I also added a modern
discussion forum, a
reunions page and other stuff.
Anyway, now you know about us. Hope you like the website.

Darryl Levine
