Hello all, Your erstwhile listowner here back from 2 weeks with 6th graders in Egypt - quite an experience and the website is coming... will let you all know when it is "up" so you can see what a kids-eye view of it all looks like...... It got so nuts before I left that I just decided to trust you would all be fine with me gone and that looks to be true.... we have some new members (130 subscribers total) and I see that Joe has posted some new info that I will need to look at as it has my great grandmother's line linked to it in a way I have not seen before! Wow! Questions to come after jet lag abates...... Just wanted you all to know we survived - it was a marvelous experience. The future in education for kids has no limits of more of this is made available to them. Next year, Israel and Greek Isles..... and a website from there as well. Cheers, and time for another nap ;0 Jana
