You might want break up your question into specific areas of functionality
you need help with. It is way too broad of a question too answer i a
newsgroup.
Sort of liking asking how to build a car from scratch.

I do not know of a "canned" solution to do everything you
want to do. Your solution will have to be created by you.
A lot of how you go about this is based on how much
knowledge you have of Front Page & programming and how
much time you are able to spend on the solution. I am
going to assume you don't have much knowledge of Front
Page or programming based on the way you asked your
question so I will give you some advice on the simpliest
way to go about this.
Let's take the things you asked one at a time:
1. Page for photos with ability to ID people in the
pictures
I would suggest you create page(s) that contain the
photos with whatever navigation is necessary to move
between pages. The photos would be sized to a standard
size in a graphics program such as Photoshop Elements and
then imported into your disk based Front Page web. They
would then be placed on web pages that are designed to
contain these images in tables. You would also need to
put some sort of identification on each picture (more
about this later). You would then create a Front Page
form where folks could id the pictures based on the
identification in the tables described above. The form,
when submitted by a visitor, would be returned to your
email address for your use.
2. an in memoriam page
Make a web page with whatever you want on it to pay
homage. You might want to include pictures, some small
writeup, whatever. Again place your content in tables on
the web page.
3. a secure (is this a buzzword you have heard or is it
an absolute requirement) database for collecting
addresses.
Look into the Database wizards that Front Page provides
to set up a database, create forms to collect data and
the ability to review this data. Check Front Page help
using the keyword "database". An alternate would be to
create another Front Page form that when filled out sends
the address data to your email account. You could then
input this data into a spreadsheet or whatever.
Note that Front Page forms and database stuff require
that your site be hosted on a server that provides the
Front Page Server Extensions and that you publish your
site using the "http" method (as opposed to FTP).
I would suggest you get started on the things I have
outlined and come back to this newsgroup with specific
questions if you need further assistance. Be sure to
include the version of Front Page you are using in future
requests for help as versions differ in the features they
provide.

Try www.schoolfriends.com for an example
Note, schoolfriends.com only covers the South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa, UK/Ireland regions, but excludes North America (U.S./Canada).
However there are probably other similar sites around.
However that site may be a little too much involved for what you want - it is a
"where are they now" type site to track down old school-friends.
For your reunion site, you can probably do the database with the results wizard
in Frontpage. If your server allows the upload component, that solves the issue
of the user uploading a photo. You can get the db to display photos - but this
is not really a straight forward process unless you know a bit about the database
functions - there is a procedure on how to do it in the FP Help, and also in the
knowledgebase at microsoft.com
Regarding secure server/database you might need to discuss this with your host,
depending on what they offer in this respect.
