Catherine Cook is the Founder of MyYearBook.com which focused on putting high school year books online instead of having hard copies. She founded the company with her brother Dave Cook when she was 15, and with the help of her eldest brother Geoff Cook as the main investor, they were able to launch.
Catherine’s reasoning for creating the website was that she had just moved to Skillman NJ and started school with no friends. She looked through the year books to see if there was anyone that she knew and then had the thought why not put all this information online for easy access to all. After asking the help of her brother Geoff and Dave, she was able to put the website together and it was an instant success

Hey John, this is extremely remarkable that he came up with a method of looking at the year books online versus looking at the hard and inconvenient books.
