I have the alumni registration form working again. My hosting company had disabled the previous script because hackers were using it to send spam. I spent most of the day figuring out how to change the script to make it harder to hack. I am slowly revising most of the alumni pages. The music part of the website will be going away.

I will be retiring at the end of school year 2005-06. My last day at BAHS will be June 16, 2006.

October 8, 2005

One year ago today I started updating the alumni page. Here it is 1 year later and while I have added updates at various times, I am still way behind in updating the pages. I made a decision today that I want to get all of the updates added and revise the website to make it easier to find information and easier for me to update. I plan to make the domain baumholder.com strictly for the alumni site and move the music page to baumholder.com/music. This will take more than a few weeks to accomplish as I continue my normal pace with my video and band activities at school. All of the pictures and information will disappear for a while but will return as the various pieces of the site are reconstructed. You can follow the process on my blog located at http://www.hartline.net/

I have donated my time and money for the web hosting service since I started the alumni page. I plan to continue to do this but if you would like to help with the costs you can donate to my Paypal account below. Your money is not required for the pages to continue but it is appreciated.

The BIG REUNION is coming up in one month. Next week I will start posting information about the reunion on the main alumni page.

March 1, 2001

This is a first as I am updating the web site from 36,000 feet about the Atlantic. I am on my way to the MENC Eastern Division Conference in Pittsburgh. Thanks to my Powerbook I can catch up on updating all of the latest Baumholder Alumni. If I had the correct cable and didn't mind paying the connection charge I actually think I could upload the updates! Oh well, I guess that will have to wait until I check into the hotel.

The London Trip this year was another roaring success. The students and adults had a great time enjoying the shows and checking out all of the wonders of London. Of course the students probably liked Sega World better than the British Museum but I'm sure they learned a lot more than they will admit. The Witches of Eastwick was my favorite show but The King and I was also wonderful. Notre Dame de Paris was different than any other show I have seen because of the use of recorded music instead of a live orchestra. The dancing was worth the price of admission even if I wasn't crazy about the music. Take ear plugs if you are not accustomed to rock music!

Ron and I are already planning on next year's trip - it will be February 27 - March 4, 2001.

The "Alumni" pages and the "Memories" page updated today thanks to the DSL connection in the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh.

January 7, 2001

Well I have finally returned from a wonderful trip to the Austrian alps. The Snow God was in a good mood and while the snow wasn't the best, it was good enough for my skiing ability. Anyone who will be in Europe during the next Christmas season, contact me if you would like to ski. For $55.00 a day you can get a hotel room, two meals per day, and a lift ticket. You just can't beat that anywhere!

The "Alumni" pages and the "Memories" page updated today. If you submitted your name to the Alumni page and your name was not added please contact me. Also, if any information has changed make sure you notified me so I can update your listing. I have received several emails lately from people informing me that some email addresses are outdated.

Kate Bryson is participating in the annual DoDDS-Europe Jazz Festival in Kaiserslautern this week. You can hear the concert Wednesday night at the House de Burgers in Ramstein Village.

The "Alumni" pages and the "Memories" page updated today.

I have added a message board to the Alumni Page. I think this might help you locate people you are looking for and also share information about the upcoming reunion. Click on the link below to leave a message.

I had a problem with the Alumni registration form and I did not receive e-mail addresses from the following alumni: Mark Pang, Christi Johnson (Heelan), Cynthia Smith (Shlimanoff), Cheri Carper-Rooks, and David Combs.

The problem has been repaired. If you know the e-mail addresses of any of these people, please let me know.

I have been working on the Alumni database and it will now automatically add new names to the database when a registration form is submitted. It will not however, add the name to the "Decade" pages, I still have to do that manually. I am continuing development on the database and hopefully in the future the "Decade" page will update automatically also. I would also like to add a section where you can update your data by entering a password but I still need to learn more about MySQL and PHP before that happens. Let me know if you find any problems in the new registration form. Right now it doesn't do a lot of error checking and that could create some problems.

December 3, 2000

The "Alumni" pages, the Reunion List, and the "Memories" page updated today.

The registration form for the Alumni page was updated this week. Let webmaster@hartline.net know if you experience any problems with the updated version.

Here is the latest on the Reunion. Several groups of Baumholder Alumni have combined to organize a reunion of Bucs to take place on April 13-16, 2001. The Reunion Site Coordinator is Kathleen (Cooksey) Sebenoler and Lynne Kaylor Maples is the On-site Coordinator. Lynne is the wife of a Brigadier General here in Baumholder. Steve Terhune, a 60's graduate and Carmen Rodriguez a 1991 graduate are also helping with plans. Here are the activities that have been suggested for the reunion 1) Tour the school, 2) Meet with former teachers, 3) Tour the Baumholder post and Neubrueke post, 4) Meet with the current students - some of the alumni would like to share their experiences both then and how they are now. There is also plans to present the mosaic "Buc" that originally was in the floor in the front lobby and later on the wall in the stairwell, back to the school. Lynne Maples rescued it from a closet where it had rested since the school was renovated back in the early 90's. If you have knowledge of the history of the mosaic "Buc" email Kathleen. Next weekend I will post a new page with all of the contact information about the reunion. Stay tuned.......

March 13, 2000

The "Alumni" pages and the "Memories" page were updated today.

During the last several weeks I have received requests from Baumholder Alumni who are interested in attending a Baumholder Reunion in Baumholder. This reunion would take place sometime in April or May of 2001. I am currently working on organizing a committee of current Baumholder teachers who will help with the arrangements. As soon as details are worked out I will add a web page to this site with complete details of the event. Let me know what you think by sending an email to reunion@baumholder.com.

A while back I posted a request for information about Tom Savoie because it had been posted on another Baumholder Alumni page that he had passed away. Well, Tom contacted me this week and he is very much alive and living in Denver, Colorado. You can reach him at tsavoie@paradyne.com. I am still trying to verify a report about Anthony (Scott) Krasche and Gerald McIntire. If you know anything about either one of these individuals please contact me.

We returned from our 10th Music Study Trip to London on Monday. The trip this year was one of the most varied ever. We began with our usual trip to beautiful Canterbury Cathedral. After checking into the Royal National we attended a performance of the ballet "Swan Lake". While everyone seemed to enjoy the evening, it was the first time we had attended a "gay" show. Friday the group was divided between the new show "Fosse" and the drum and bugle corp show "Blast!" "Blast" was exactly what the name says - it was the most exciting musical event I have ever witnessed. The show will be on a world tour this year so plan on attending if it comes to your area. Saturday everyone entered the make-believe jungle at "The Lion King." You can't believe the animals - what a show! The TV Production kids toured the BBC Television Center and performed a radio drama at the BBC Experience. We closed the trip with a visit to "Speaker's Corner" and the Millennium Dome. Watch the photo album in a few days for some pictures of Baumholder students speaking at "Speaker's Corner." The Millennium Dome was a fun afternoon but it did not live up to the hype.

February 20, 2000

The "Alumni" pages and the "Memories" page were updated today. This is the week of the annual London trip and I am very busy preparing for the trip. Gary Martin our lead trumpet player and all-around great guy leaves us today for Las Vegas. It will be greatly missed but everyone wishes him the best.

I received this email this week:

"Mr Hartline... The date has been set for June 3rd, 2000. If you can add this, it will help. I am much Grateful for your website. Several of us, have come to terms of having Military Brat Syndrom....

To find our friends afrer all these years. You were apart of this too. Thank you Cindi Walker"

Here is a another message I received this week from Ann Maurer Jayne.

"Dear friends and family, Attached is our most recent photo of the Baumholder, Germany beauties. We met in Las Vegas after a twenty-two year hiatus. Ann Maurer Jayne, Karolina Rose Wignall and Judy Brown Teresi (from left to right) hope you all get to renew old friendships and create new memories!
