There was no Home Page Opinion Poll for this month, as our site was first created on 3/9/08.
Website Developer's Notations:
* The home page counter has a 24 hour time clock (cookie). This means if a visitor accesses your home page over and over again in a 24 hour block of time (which is typical when browsing around your site), they are only counted 1 time. If the same visitor returns to your home page after 24 hours, the visitor is then counted again 1 time. This 24 hour time clock was put in place to provide a good assessment of the actual number of visitors your site is receiving as opposed to counting every single hit to your home page, which provides a distorted view of actual visitors.
** An Active Classmate is a Classmate who has joined and is participating in your site. If you have added any Guest Members to your site they are not included in your Active Classmate total. The Inactive total does not include deceased Classmates.
