Twenty years is a long time. What do you say we have a reunion?

This blog was created in an effort to connect with as many people as we can from our graduating class. A reunion group has already formed on Facebook, so if you're not already there, please join us (the group is called "HSPVA Class of 1989, Reunion 2009"). If you'd rather not sign up for Facebook, please drop us an email here (hspva1989@gmail.com) and let us know where you are, what you've been up to, and how we can get in touch. We'd also love to hear your thoughts about what you want this reunion to look like.

Please take a moment to comb through the list of missing classmates in the right sidebar. If you see your name or that of someone you're still in contact with, please let us know. We'll be rotating yearbook photos of people on the list regularly, so keep checking back to see if you recognize anyone.

We look forward to seeing you in 2009!
