That sure is a pity. I visit a nursing home once a week, and record what selective residants remember about the past where I live. Their stories are amazing, and I always leave wanting to know more. It's so sad, some have family and some have family which they never see. The next generation I'm sure, will have a chip implant which will electronically remember everything, but I'm still for the personal touch. Keep up the nice stories..........they'll be history one day. ps that's way this mailing list above all list rocks......... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Gillespie, DC" <DrRickTx@rattlers.net> To: <TXBASTRO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2001 10:35 PM Subject: RE: [TXBASTRO] Personal Website > You're right Tammy.
