This site was created to connect and re-connect with our AA JFK Retirees/Alumni (even those who will not be attending the Reunions). Our next goal is to make this site a scrapbook of memories for all AA JFK Retirees/Alumni and their families. Our site is private!
Everything you need to know about setting up a profile to gain access to the rest of our page is on this page. If you have questions, please contact Don Smith at donpsmith@comcast.net. or jim.timmerman@aol.com
All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. The host of this web site, ClassCreator.com, is a locally-owned business. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites. It will not be shared or distributed.
Your contact information is private; your street address, e-mail address, and phone number cannot be seen by others. Each retiree/alumni has the ability to limit the visibility of his or her profile to only fellow retiree's/alumni by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line your profile can be viewed by others such as your friends or family, but also note your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines.
Finding your Retiree/Alumni web site Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:
- If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow retiree's/alumni, and then use a search engine to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by anyone else.
Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each Retiree/Alumni profile page (just look under the Retiree/Alumni's main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact Retirees/Alumni without sharing your private email address unless you choose to do so.

In order to access the pages that are password protected on this site, you must set up a profile by providing a minimum of your email address, a password, number of years (Length of Services with AA) as well as a department (if more than one, please provide all - (mandatory)
Private information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates. We collect mailing addresses in the event that we need to contact you by snail mail or phone. Your information will never be given to another retiree's/alumni without your permission. Birthdays are optional, however, we encourage posting of birthday dates! Month and day are all that is required (no year is required,) as we all are eternally young!
We encourage you to add a photo of your choice, to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site. If assistance is required, please contact Jim Timmerman, by way of a message within the website, or by on-line at jim.timmerman@aol.com

Passwords:
Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be the high-security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually the "remember me" will fail (for instance when you get a new computer). Please make note of your password!
If you forget your password simply click on "forgot password". If you have several email accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, contact Don Smith/Jim Timmerman This could take a day or so, please be patient.
As our web site came with pre-set categories primarily used by High school and colleges you will, on occasion notice a reference/s/ to "Classmates", as in this case. As such, all references to "Classmates" should be replaced by the term "Retiree/s/ and/or Alumni.
Please refer any questions about this to Don Smith at donpsmith@comcast.net
To contact a fellow retiree/alumni, you may simply use the email option at the top left of each Alumni's Profile page (located under Master Photo). This feature will allow open communication between Retirees/Alumni while protecting your personal information. If you wish to share your email address or other personal information within a message written on our site, the site will not block you from doing so.
Adding current pictures is not a requirement to participate on the site, but it certainly is a nice way to get to know people again. We've had reports of Retirees/Alumni who were routinely running into each other without knowing it, because...well....we've all changed a little over the years! :)
