It is a shame that after our successful reunion the very first post in a long time brings very sad news. Our fellow classmate Malik Murray was shot and killed last week in a senseless crime just two blocks from his home in Harlem.

I knew Malik well back in HS, and I found him to be a funny and warm man. While I did not keep in touch with him, it is apparent that his warmth and good humor continued to affect those around him. This is a tragic loss and I send my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. If you wish to share any thoughts on our dear friend Malik, please do so.

Due to a silly error, we never kept a full tally of who actually showed up!  It would be a great help if those of you that attending could raise your hands and also tell us who you saw. I’m sure tapping into our collective memories we can put together a final list of who was there.

Wanna see pics? Then visit the gallery! Folks have been doing a great job of uploading their pics… We have around 100 pics there already. PLEASE upload yours when you get a chance. Click here for details on how to get it done.

OK, I’ve create a generic user in our Gallery page. You can all use it to login to our photo gallery and upload your pictures. You can add captions, etc. By default, these pics are going into our Reunion album. I can move the pictures around to the other albums if you decide to upload pics of your kids, you at home, etc.

Here are the instructions:

Click on this link: http://bronxscience86.com/gallery/v/reunion/upload/ Now, click on the ‘login’ link at the top right of the page. The user and password are both ‘upload’. In other words, when it asks for your name and password, it’s the same thing: upload.

Now click on ‘Add Items’ on the left side and it will walk you through how to upload the pictures. Be patient if you’re sending many pictures, it will take some time to transfer.

Let’s see how this goes, it should be pretty easy, but I’ll help as much as I can from my side if needed.

It’s over! I think without a doubt we all had a great time. We hit close to 200 attendees! That’s a lot of walk-ins. It was great to see and catch up with so many familiar faces. I was able to give out so many hugs and receive so many in return. That’s about all I needed man, it was just great.

Many of you asked, and I want to be clear: this website will not be going away. Consider this our common meeting ground. We have enough left over from the reunion money that the small amount needed to keep this site running in perpetuity for the next 10 years is easily done. And as long as I’m a nerd, I don’t mind investing whatever small amount of energy to keep it moving forward.
