    3. Mari, My mother was one of the first people to have a cornea transplant. For years she could only make out "light and dark". It was to be in Milwaukee at St. Luke's Hospital and she had to be no more that 15 minutes from the hospital and always within telephone reach, for weeks. Two days after Christmas that year, she got "the call". It took several hours at that time (no lazers or micro-equipment then). And she had bandages over both eyes for a week, in hospital, with orders not to move her eyes. The bandages came off......after a few eyelid blinks she could finally see objects again and 38 years later, now well into her 80's, she still sees the world as she did on that special day. I am happy for you, truly. Rita - Oconto County Mari wrote: > The message forwarded below, was sent through this list last June.

I have always tried to make my pages so that they are geared for everyone to view....more in the lines of compatibility for all computers.

On November 19, 2003 I ended up having to have a cornea transplant in my left eye. Scared? yes! worried? yes! I have what is a genetic disease of the cornea, and w/o transplant, I'd go blind.....thank goodness for modern medicine, and the work of those who saw a possibility, and worked through the roadblocks till the transplant is perfected as it is today. With my severe hearing loss, this eye problem hit me hard......and was hard for me to deal with. I've used my eyes since a child to supplement my hearing loss..... That said, I now am pursuing another hobby of mine....reading....through the State Library for the Blind here in IA. I can receive large print books, and books on tape for my use free of charge. They have a link on their site that gives tips for doing web sites so that they are useable for the visually impaired. http://www.blind.state.ia.us/access/access-tips.htm What's my point in all this? Keep ALL viewers in mind when doing your sites! I never realized how much I could miss by having the text too small on a web site I was wanting to view. Now I have to have my font set for a larger one to view most pages.....as many are using too small of a text for me to read w/o rubbing my nose on the monitor.

    3. Bob Franks is a former CC in the MSGenWeb Project, and does terrific graphics. I twisted his arm <g>. It is based on this Penny Postcard from Wisconsin site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/ppcs-wi.html, specifically http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/dane/postcards/norway.jpg Little Norway, Blue Mounds. Thanks to the Penny Postcard site for granting permission for its use! I agree, I want a house like that!
