Who's In The BIOs -  Click this link for a list of whose BIOs are already under the letters of the alphabet.

Text Box: Someone will only be in the this section if there's a 'now' photo, OR they've 'Okayed' their BIO.  Some of the 'now' photos are from photos taken at the 50th Reunion.  If you prefer to have a different 'now' photo, please feel free to email one, and it will become the replacement.

When you find the Provi photo of someone you knew, click on it, and if there's a 'now' photo, OR if they've 'Okayed' their BIO, it will open. The BIOs are from the 50th Reunion Handbook; but the email address/address/phones(s) info has been redone by Marge Pogue-Ruffer and Bill Baur, key members of the 50th Reunion Search Committee; see PTHS Class of '57 Alumni Directory, below.

If you would like your BIO added, to open from your photo, please email your 'Okay' to add it.  When I get your 'Okay', I'll contact you with the information I have, if any, for your editting/approval of what to include:  'ALL' or BIO/email address/address/phone(s).

It is hoped you will add it 'ALL', to promote communication among the Class of '57 Graduates.  

NOTE:  If you've never provided a BIO to the Search Committee, please send one in now; it's fun!

If you'd like to add your 'now' photo to the Now-Photos/BIOs section, or add some photos to your BIO page, of family, hobbies, etc., please email them.
