... Because of our love and devotion for

RADIUM SPRINGS ...

... The Albany High Times ... was born

In 2002, Charlie Stewart ('55) mailed an article taken from The Rambler  March/April 2001 issue (see below) from the "Around the State" section, titled, "Radium Springs: Uncertain Fate for Radium Springs Casino."  

(Click here for original scan)

I decided to type the article and email it to the few AHS students whose email addresses I had collected at that time, and suddenly I began to receive "memories of Radium" from several classmates, who forwarded the memories to other classmates, and those would email their memories ... it absolutely snowballed!    I decided I couldn't keep those memories to myself and not share; so I began to compile them, sending them back to the email base.  Then, something else happened ... folks from other classes began to share memories of Radium and AHS - and as memories grew, so did the email base.   Keeping up with the memories – to whom I had sent, who was new and needed all of them, became quite a job; so I decided to create a few AHS WebPages inside my personal website. 

That's when an incredible thing began to happen ... the WebPages reconnected and bonded students who had lost track of one another over the years ... and believe it or not, there's been a whole lot of lovin' goin' on!!!   Moreover, folks that were not necessarily friends in high school began to make new friends.  And it just keeps on growing … so much so that I decided to convert the pages in my website to a completely independent website for AHS … and THE ALBANY HIGH TIMES was born, which would tell of "times past, present and future."  So here we are … having fun looking back … and eagerly anticipating looking forward.  

Look to your left and see the different sections featuring one of the dearest places on earth ... and now She's gone ... and we still grieve ...

Sponsors for June 2011 - May 2012

This website grew out of a plan to start a website for the Class of 1955, but so many other classes showed interest, that The Albany High Times was created instead for all classes. 

The website has connected classmates in a wonderful way, and you who have volunteered to be sponsors for the next year are a part of making that happen!
