Let us help you plan your next military, class or family reunion.

Linda Johnson Hoffman and her partner Neal Barnett established Goodman Lauren Publishing in 1985. They collaborated and perfected "The Reunion Planner ®, How to Make Your Reunion a Social and Financial Success" book and software since it was first published in 1992. The book and software became registered trademarks in 2007.

It all began as Linda was planning her 20th high school reunion. She asked Neal Barnett, a system's analyst, to help her put her alumni names and addresses in a database to simplify dealing with all her alumni information. After her reunion, the two decided to create a reunion planner unit, a how-to book and accompanying software to help alumni plan their reunions. When they realized there seemed to be a void in the marketplace for such a product, the two entrepreneurs worked to develop and market their product.

What started out as a small idea blossomed into a successful company that has remained a solid contributor to the reunion planning industry for over 16 years. Their product has become a proven valuable tool to alumni and professional reunion planners. The book is currently in its third edition and the company recently released version 7.2 of their trademarked software program.

Linda Johnson Hoffman has been an event planner organizing special events, fundraisers, political campaign dinners and spearheaded five of her own class reunions for North Hollywood High School in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County in California. She maintains a hectic pace as author, wife, mother, civic volunteer and is the operations manager for her husband's urban economics planning firm.

Neal Barnett has been a systems analyst for over 30 years. He has operated a successful computer-consulting firm, specializing in software and Internet development for businesses and information managers - and is a founder of 800wine.com, an Internet wine gift service. He makes computers work with equal ease for large corporations and alumni planners.
