Why did I create this site?
I originally created this site as after speaking with a few of the different committee members and found out roughly (at that time) how many of our classmates were not able to be located. My wife and I, as well as a few classmates decided to do some further research and were able to located more of the missing classmates.
Due to my knowledge of computers and the internet as a computer technician, I decided that with almost every household now having a computer that maybe more of our classmates would be able to be located.
In addition this makes for an easy resource to locate classmates as well as keep everyone informed of get togethers and keep in-touch with everyone through a newsgroup area.
As my original plans were to create a site for all of our 1986 classmates, my plans have grown to include all of the graduating classes of KOHS. This site started with the original domain of www.kohs86.com, but as my plans changed to include adding all graduating classes this was not going to work. Unfortunately KOHS.com was already taken by a Model Train company thus KOHS.us was formed.
With the current state of the economy and past economic conditions I thought that may have kept some people from attending the reunions. I have created the ability that everyone should be able to attend the next reunion. Paypal has been setup so that now you can buy your tickets and even reserve your rates online. This feature will go live 14 months before the actual reunion. The reason for this is that you can setup a monthly payment plan to stretch out your payments over 12 months if needed. Paypal has been chosen as neither WWW.KOHS.US or the committee members will receive your credit card information and your payments are made through a secure transaction.
Paypal has also been setup to allow donations to be accepted. ANY donations made through this site go to a dedicated account for use to help pay to keep this site running. Donations are used to cover costs incurred such as website hosting, SSL Certificates, Site verification, Ect., and any additional donations to this site are used towards KOHS get togethers, reunions, ect. Just a reminder that all the time, work and fee's to maintain and create this site have been provided solely by Donald L. Howard.
Eventually, I would like to create a scholarship fund to be able to help students further their education.
If there is anything you would like to see added to this site feel free to ask.

KOHS.us Webmaster
