Crap - what depressing posts above... "peace of the quite moors" has you in a grave.

DUDE - Snap Out of It...there are a few more things you need to knead.

Dear Mr. Spaw,

Another baby ! ! ! Congradulations.

.....................................................

Get ON The Stick DUDE ! ! !

You have information, stories (real ones) regarding your family's American Experience.
Good Lord knows you can't type....request a sound recorder. And notepad with pencil.

As memories (even weird stuff) pop into your brain...record them.

There are some stories, that your parents told you as a child, about their parent's childhood. Realise, when YOU are gone...those stories entrusted to you, may be gone forever.

(Well, maybe why four different uncles married the same the aunt and all their daughters came out looking like the family beagle-dog...can go buried in the family photo album.)

LOOK, mentioning family album.
Have family members bring in stuff. You might only know 1 out of 10 photos. Have them write the information on the back...(stickies unstick and get lost)

You have been granted a unique opportunity in life and in technology. Dig deep.

Time is short.

Sincerly,
Gargoyle

You don't need to be a LafKat and publish a book...just DO IT ! This is a wake-up call to those of us over 70.
