[O-High]

I received a registration request tonight [Fri, 6 Feb 09] for a member of the class of 1925. A mental check of my math indicated that someone from the class of 1925 would be around 100 years old.

I figured it must be a typo on the class year. Maybe the person meant 1952. Checking our data base I found that the name given was from the class of 1925.

Since the registration included an address and phone number, I called the number. A young sounding female voice answered. [It sounded to me like maybe a teenager]. I asked for Alexandra, the name used in the e-mail address and found I was talking to her. When I identified myself as being from O-High Alumni, Alexandra told me I needed to talk to her mom. When I told her mom that I has received a registration request for Kathleen (Kinney) Chase I was told she was right there ready to talk to me. Kathleen is 100 years old. She will be 101 May 29, 2009. It was a real treat to talk with her. We visited a little bit about Oberlin and people who lived there.

That phone conversation was one of the rewards of being the webmaster of O-High Alumni.
