THIS AND THAT

To contact me regarding any of the following, please note that my contact information is available on our homepage at www.albany.edu/~milne.

I have email addresses for only 900+ alumni, approximately half the alumni in our database. And the database itself is far from complete. Unfortunately, there are many alumni who do not have email addresses, who have not yet shared them, or simply do not wish to share them. If you are aware of anyone who may be "out of the loop," please contact me with whatever info you may have. I would be happy to contact alumni before I add them to the database.

If you would like to have your name shown as a clickable email link in the Name Directory and Class-Year Directory , please let me know.

Some of you have business email addresses listed in the database and various email lists. If you would like me to change that to a personal email address, please so advise.

I am still interested in developing a web page honoring Milne alumni who served in the military. But I can't do everything! Please let me know if you would like to volunteer to help gather information.

The Hall of Fame project is still underway. If there is a Milne alumnus or alumna you believe deserves Hall of Fame recognition, please send me an email that includes pertinent information so that I am able to copy and paste your submission. I am willing to provide minor editing as needed. Please limit submissions to approximately 300 words plus website links, which will not only expand upon a Hall of Fame member's background but will also ensure that we don't mishandle copyrighted material.

PLEASE SEND NEWS! If you have any news you would like to share with other Milne alumni, please let me know.
