Dear Folks, After I responded to the emails I had to respond to this evening, I continued to the very end of editing all my stories (with the exception of my Surinam Adventure). I knew that the next step I'd have to take is to link all of the stories into one very long document, one after enough in good order and to eventually paginate them into the whole book. I checked the remaining capacity of my ZIP disk and found that the free space far out numbered the used space where I've been storing all of my stories. Late tonight I took the plunge where I've never gone before. I opened another document that I just named "My book" and started to cut and paste the stories of my memories starting with the 1930s. After a number of false starts, I started to get the hang of it and at least I can go to sleep tonight knowing that I'm on the last journey in putting my book together to share with everybody. I've been wondering how I could ever tie everthing in order but I have an idea that it will all come together the way I've been envisioning it. This is far from the end of the tunnel for me but at least I can still see the dim light there. I know that I'll be happy with the ending. vee
