The best time to register for the Hereford Alumni 2006 Multi-Class Reunion is before May 31, 2006. Why? Well, there are actually two reasons: The first being that May 31 is the last day that Hereford alumni can submit bio information and photos to be included in the reunion's Memory Book. Secondly, May 31 is also the date that the reunion registration fee of $100 per person ends and increases to $125 per person starting on June 1. So don't delay, get your reunion registration and Memory Book forms completed and faxed or mailed today. To print the forms from your computer just click onto the link below.

All Points Bulletin! With about 100 days left to go until the big, mid-July reunion in Grapevine, the alumni association's search committee is still in need of mail lists from certain classes and their coordinators. Close to 2,200 full-color post cards have been mailed to our alumni during the months of February and March, but a lot of folks have yet to receive a formal invitation announcing the multi- class reunion. While time is running out, it is not too late for us to get the word out to them.

Now you can register for the Hereford Alumni 2006 Multi-Class Reunion using your Visa or MasterCard, and pay no extra service fee. Up until now, a 2% service fee was added to all credit card transactions and reunion registration fees. This now means that you can not only register for the reunion using your Visa or MasterCard, but also pay for the reunion's activities such as the alumni golf tournament, golf shirts, reunion sponsorships or any other purchases with the use of your plastic money. Discover, American Express, and PayPal, however, will no longer be accepted. To avoid adding that extra 2% service fee on registrations, etc., it was in the best interest of the alumni association to drop these cards due to the nearly 3% transaction fee the association was expected to pay for credit card processing services.

The amazing thing about Alan Hardin (Class of 71) and his wife, Sheila Olson Hardin (Class of 71), is that they got married while still attending Hereford High School. The other amazing thing about the Hardins is that after more than 36 years of marriage, that are still together! When you ask them about their marriage they will say that they credit their success to "trusting in the Lord for all things". "God took a tragic event early in our marriage to change both of our lives, creating a foundation and making us stronger", says Alan. Alan and Sheila both serve on the reunion's planning committee and are in the Hotel Management industry in Sherman, Texas. Very close to their hearts are their three children and two grandchildren. The Hardins are proud to say that each of their children are married and have their college degrees. Their son, Bobby is employed with Bank of American and lives in Flower Mound, Texas. Oldest daughter, Alana is director of sales for the Radisson Hotel in Denton, Texas. And youngest daughter, Heather is employed as a first grade teacher in Denton.
