Who We Are



Here's the place to come to find out who we are. We would like to publish a brief profile of you. It's not about comparisons. It's a starting point, if you will, on the road to regain that sense of authentic community that once existed during our years at Wakefield.


Come out of hiding, put past grievances aside, rekindle youthful exuberance and let your classmates hear from you. Just take a few minutes to let us know where you are in life. You can send us your profile by filling in the boxes below and clicking on the "Submit" button. Or, you can make an entry in our blog on the "Message Board" page.


We have no motive other than you are important to us, we care about you and we would like to know how you are doing. We hope you are doing well, of course.
