A&M FAMILY YOUR PAGES ARE HERE!
I needed some time to move all your photos from the old configuration to the new one. Today about 150 of you have a basic page with your name and photo(s). Your personal page can hold as many of your stories and photos as you would like. You can add job titles or the department(s) you worked in, links to your web site, links to books you’ve written, links to your videos, business cards, A&M memorabilia...include whatever makes your A&M experience come alive for you.
Here’s where we are: On the A&M Records Employee page (U.S.) your name links to your personal page. https://www.onamrecords.com/labels/a-m-records/146531/employees When you have a page, if you type your name in the search box your name will be in the results.
To get your page or add to your page, just e-mail me your stories and photos at On A&M Records webmaster
If you have an A&M friend who passed away but would like him/her to have a page, please feel free to create a page for him/her. It can be simple, elaborate or in between. Their family members can contribute too.
Things that will help me: (1) Please caption group photos with people’s names. If you don’t remember someone in the photo, just say “unknown.”
(2) Include the department(s) where you worked as it will help fill in the department/office pages. It will let me create employee lists by department.
(3) Department or office photos
Sample personal page Roland Young:
SPREAD THE WORD to your A&M Family so everyone can participate.
A&M OFFICE/DEPARTMENT PAGES
A&M FAMILY: I’m hoping you’ll add stories about the department’s contributions to A&M. You know how much the industry has changed and how quickly we are losing those who lived it. It’s up to you to preserve the legacy and historic achievements of A&M.
I drafted a page for the graphics department just to give an idea of what we can do.
