I can't figure out how to edit a form that is accessed by a link.

Example: The "In Memory" page has a link at the very bottom that takes you to a form that can be filled out and sent to the administrator. When you try to type in the name of the person that has passed away you get a drop down list and can't type in that box.

We need to be able to allow people to type in the box not have a drop down.

It cannot be a fill out field, it has to be a dropdown of your members. This function and much more throughout your site depends on you entering all Classmate names into your system in advance. Somebody could always fill out your contact form though.
