Subject: RE: BS: Joy's Grandmother's story From: Joybell Date: 20 Jun 04 - 06:39 PM Thanks kat, It took a lot of trial and error and a lot of cursing. The easy part - writing the story was the fun bit. I used Microsoft Publisher, reluctantly because Lotus wanted more money out of me than I could afford. I find Lotus much more user-friendly. I know there are other programs but I caved in. Good luck with your dad's story. I'll look forward to seeing it. Joy |

I like the way you have it laid out, too. I am still working on my dad's oral history book and you've given me a couple of ideas as to placement of photos, etc. Thanks! And, thanks for sharing with us!! kat |

But this just caught my eye In middle age she ran away from her home and family . . . Just a confirmation that you're never too old to have a happy childhood! Way to go for self-reinvention! |

Subject: BS: Joy's Grandmother's story From: Joybell Date: 18 Jun 04 - 06:58 PM Just managed to get the story of my Grandmother online. She was a sort of folk character in her way so here she is for anyone who's interested. Takes a while to download because so many great old photos came my way.
