The Virtual Sunapee Reunion site was officially closed today. The following email was sent to current members:

Dear Participant,

If you've been with us since the beginning, this is would be nearly the 100th monthly newsletter you've received. And I've decided that this shall be the last.

My decision to stop working on the VSR directory was a bit slow in coming. Sometimes we, as people, continue things merely because we are used to doing them. My volunteer work on the Virtual Sunapee Reunion website lasted over eight years. That is quite a chunk of time. The site was started the year the Monica Lewinsky scandal hit the newspapers. A current senior at the SMHS was in fourth grade. More frighteningly, should I live to be 80 years old, these eight years will represent 10% of my life.

I appreciate all those who've participated over the years. I'm most pleased with those of you who used to update regularly. Finally, a special word of thanks must go to the free hosting offered by the folks at www.nhvt.net.

It may be a bit more before I send out a monthly newsletter. I've got a bit more checking to do.
