Mark Myers Obituary


Mark's obituary was published today in the Sacramento Bee and the Contra Costa Times, as well as online. Kind of appropriate that he's wearing a hat, since he always wore one! But, for a guy in his early fifties, Mark had a great head of hair (and probably didn't need the hat.)

Mark Myers

I received an e-mail from Scott Shields early this morning:

"Mark Myers passed away Thursday October 6. I do not
have any details regarding his passing. . ."

"There will be a memorial service at the Danville Community Presbyterian Church
on Sunday October 16 at 2:00pm. "

Future location of website.

This blog originally was created to help publicize website address changes. In 2008, AOL shut down its free hosting services, where the original page had been located since 1998. Soon thereafter, Yahoo shut down its GeoCities page. I decided to store all the files on my Apple MobileMe/"Dot Mac" servers. Well, Apple has decided to shutter its MobileMe service in favor of iCloud, so that means that the homepage.mac.com/johnbramsey/SanRamonHi/classof79.html address will be defunct. Fortunately, Apple has given us until June 30, 2012, which is a lot better than the usual 30 days notice these companies give.

I've got ownership of domain names SanRamonHigh.com and SRVHSClassof79.org, so the goal will be to make the actual location of the files less relevant than simply knowing the domain names above.

I have just began using Dropbox to store up to 2 GB of files online. They offer a public folder which should be adequate for storing my high school memorabilia files. The address doesn't exactly roll off the tongue -- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36395968/SanRamonHi/classof79.html -- but that's why we own srvhsclassof79.org, right?

I hope to keep this site going for many years to come. Much of the content is static -- like yearbook photos and school newspapers. Although there now are websites out there that have online versions of old yearbooks, I still plan to keep this site alive.
