I have recently located yet another resource for a listing
of deceased VH Grads. I have been able to update the status
of over 50 deceased grads, along with a more current pic
of them for your convenience. The amount of information is
quite voluminous so it is taking me a bit of time to update.

Just a friendly update to let the Van Horn Alumni know
what's going on with the VanHorn.org web page. My name is
Roy Timberman, Class of 1967. I developed this web page
presentation in 1998, 27
years ago. and have upgraded as often as time and money
permits since then.

On May 4, 2012, while riding a motorcycle escort, I had a
stroke which had some long standing repercussions. I have
been getting back into the 'groove' so-to-speak and trying
to get the submissions, updates, etc. for the website back
up to date as much as possible. I believe that I now have
what information that has been presented on line. Alumni
have been updated with what has been submitted. I'm working
on the pictues submitted... they require resizing, etc.
The sad part is that we are far from complete in the
information that has been submitted and it would seem that
there is a low level of interest in one's past.

Thanks to those that have participated and if I can get some
interaction with the reunion committee's and their alumni
information I can update the lists here even more. As with
all things, the cooperation between us will help and make a
much better presentation for all to make use of.

Another take away from doing the website updates is the sad
list of classmates that have passed. I've had some very good
and long time friends that have crossed over. It is a very
saddening bit of information when a death notice is submitted.
It is also something to note that the rest of us are not getting
any younger and I'm sure we all can note some aches and
pains that the 'golden years' seem to give us. Younger Alumni
will get there... just be patient!

I will maintain the website as long as I can and there is
something to do. I have rewritten a bit of the admin pages
so that when a submission is made I can better handle it.
It is quite time consuming to maintain, especially when I'm
not the energetic person that I used to be.

Thank you to all the Alumni that have participated!

One little additional piece of information... There are numerous sites on line
that purport to provide a contact point for grads. This is just one of the many
but it is definitely a direct representation of Van Horn High School, Independence,
MO and that only. I don't attempt to provide graduate access, listings, etc. from
any other school. Please be sure that you are submitting your information to these
entities for the correct school. I have seen a large number of graduates that I
know to be from VHHS in Independence, MO on other sites, particulary they were
listed on Van Horn High School, Van Horn, Texas and they most certainly were not
from that school. I hope that there are not any from Van Horn High School in Texas
listed on this web site. My listings are primarily taken from the yearbooks,
commencement flyers, and in a few cases, submissions from class coordinators,
or the graduate themselves. If there is a graduate from Texas or any other entity
who has been erroneously listed here, please advise the webmaster and they will be
removed.
