In Memoriam

Welcome to the AHS Memorial Page -- this page seeks to Honor and memorialize our classmates who have passed away. We have added an area forAHS and AHJS faculty also. Please realize that this Memorial listing is a work-in-progress... it's not particularly easy to find this information -- however, we are finding it, so please bear with us.

If you know of someone we've missed or something we don't have right, please e-mail me, Kim Noyes and I will get it up at the very next update. And yes, we'd like to add those classmates of ours who came before us, we just don't know who they are and in fact, only can add them if we see it in an obituary. So please, let us know out there!

Our plan is to start adding photos (and perhaps a rememberance page) to go with these names... Please let us know if you can help and again, your input is welcomed!

*Disclaimer: This list is a work in progress which inevitably contains some (but not many) errors as we tend to occasionally get some contradictory or erroneous information from helpful people with inaccurate memories or incorrect sources. You can rest assured that we strive to be as accurate as we can be at all times. Thanks for your understanding.
