03/11/2001

I decided to change the handling of those on the PENDING list.  To be moved from the Lost List to the PENDING list, I had to have found an alumni's listing on Classmates.com, or Alumni.net, or Highschoolalumni.com, or have been given contact information from another source.  I would put PENDING as their address and that would take them off the MISSING list.  However I found that many people didn't respond to e-mails sent to them from Classmates.com or other sources, so I've decided to implement a new rule of thumb.  I will keep names in the PENDING list for 3 months. If they do not respond in that time, their PENDING status will be removed and they will go back on the missing list. I don't want to be misleading with the number of people who are found.  I will publish a separate table of those on the PENDING list on the same page as the Missing List from now on.
