The website he built
Tom created scths.com in 2001 for the Class of ’61 and its 40th reunion. The domain was registered in July 2001, and the earliest archived page reads “Updated August 5, 2001 – 12 days to reunion.” The Internet Archive captured the site from 2002 through 2019; over those years it grew into the class’s home on the web, with reunion news, photographs, the class roster, a memorial page for departed classmates, class news, and a section for the Class of 1960.
“Created and Developed by C. Thomas Hogg, Class ’61”— the footer of every page on scths.com
The Class of ’61 Steering Committee listed him as its “Web Master Esq.”

Tom married Charlene Woodworth, Class of ’60 (the site’s class couples list includes “Tom Hogg & Charlene Woodworth (’60)”). Charlene created The Recorder for the Class of 1960’s 50th reunion.
The scths.com website was originally created and maintained by Tom Hogg (C. Thomas Hogg, Class ’61), and his son Chuck Hogg has maintained it since.
