Status of this site

This site, pullman84.com, is maintained by Jennifer Hodgdon. It used to be a place for members of the Pullman (WA) High School class of 1984 to update their contact information, find other class members, and get information about reunions. Unfortunately, the site got hacked and Jennifer took it down.

For now, you can:

• Check for information about reunions.
• Contact Jennifer (see above) if you would like to get in touch with a member of the class; if she knows how to reach that class member, she'll happily forward a message from you to the class member.
• Email Jennifer any reunion-related information you'd like to have posted here.
