Subject: RE: Thought for the Day - Feb 1
Many seniors are already online! My 82 year old uncle sends me jokes nearly everyday. When I visited him last summer we talked for nearly 12 hours straight about computer stuff. I've really enjoyed getting to know him, and I've learned a lot (besides the jokes).

Many organizations are already in place that can encourage online involvement (senior citizen groups, retirement clubs, churches). Even public libraries now have Internet access and users groups to help with the techno stuff. But it seems that grandchildren are usually the ones who get their Grandma and Grandpa involved.
