PullmanHigh.com was started by Brad Pack, a 1979 Pullman High School graduate.
I have been frustrated that there was no FREE web site for Pullman High School alumni and classmates to contact their friends and had the idea of starting a free Pullman High School web site for more than five years. I found out that Sue Druffel also had that idea and tried to work with her on the idea but I had trouble staying in contact with her, and could never find an easy to use CMS (bulletin board software) or Social Networking piece of software to base it on. After many failed attempts and spending many hours battling cheaper or free software I decided to buy VBulletin (http://www.vbulletin.com/) and just do it.
I have also been frustrated that the only available ways to contact Pullman High school graduates and/or plan Pullman High School Class Reunions have been by joining pay web sites and constantly paying membership fees, to renew that membership, or hoping you can find classmates amongst the millions of members on other free websites.
My goal with this web site is to ALWAYS remain FREE for Pullman High classmates. In order to do that I am requesting donations (http://www.pullmanhigh.com/misc.php?do=donate) to pay the domain renewal fee $10/year (about 5 years/$50 is what I have paid for so far), classmates.com fees to recruit PullmanHigh.com classmates (3 years for a total of $80, and to pay for the software I bought to get the web site up and running, a $180 (one-time cost) or about a total of $310.
I will NOT ever charge membership fees, and keep this site running forever as long as I get enough donations to pay the costs to maintain it.
If you would like to help, please use the Tell a Friend form at the bottom of the pages to let your friends know about PullmanHigh.com and/or click the link below to donate any amount.
Thank You,
Brad
