Many thanks to Jim who takes his time and effort to keep this website up and running. It is a tribute to him and to the class of GRCHS Class of 1961.
In these turbulent times with many changes occurring, I suggest that this site remain one which is devoid of politics and political talk. We, or speaking for myself, hear too much of what politicians promise us, only to be discouraged when the promises are not kept.
I encourage everyone to please at least keep this one website left devoted, and limited to our class, our families, and what we did and what we are doing, without the heated political rhetoric that some feel they must insert every moment they get a chance. Our 1961 GRCHS class was not raised monolithic as families did not all march to one tune back in the 50's and 60's. We all still may differ on our politics but that, thankfully, is what makes this Country great with free and open speech. However, to keep this 1961 class website free of politics woud be refreshing. Reading comments on this website about Trump, sanctuary cities, and the dreamers, and a "dark day for us when Trump was elected" does nothing but allow one to use this website as their personal political soapbox and that's too bad. Our political views are not all the same and are not monolithic. If you want to talk politics with someone in the class of 1961, then phone them, text or email them but please don't use this website to share your political views.
May God bless each and everyone of the GRCHS Class of 1961, their families, and friends, regardless of their political views, liberal, conservative, independent, or non involved. But let's keep this website one last place where politics and political viewpoints are not included.
Thank you all and may God bless us, all of us.
