As family members surf through
this site, it will become obvious that we are missing
memories of a few family members. Aunt Juanita, Uncle Paul,
Aunt Gen, all of Pop's brothers and sisters, and Uncle Frank
immediately come to mind.
Anyone wishing to jump in with
his or her memories of these long gone relatives is welcome
to do so. To make this a pleasant reading experience to the
visitors, please strictly adhere to these guidelines:
Use both upper and lower case
letters. All upper case makes your story difficult to read,
and on the Internet denotes SHOUTING.
Do not hyphenate. Visitors with
many different screen widths and with many different
Internet Browsers will be viewing your story. Your
hyphenation will not properly line up. I have a program that
properly formats these pages properly - regardless of the
screen size.
Do not use you enter key and the
end of each line. Only use it at the end of the paragraph.
Doing so causes me hours trying to locate and delete each
one of the non-paragraph-ending line feeds. This is the
Number One problem of those people who learned to type on a
typewriter and have not made the transaction to a word
processor.
I do not want to make any changes
to YOUR story – so I will not do any editing of your story.
Hell, I have enough problems putting my own thoughts into
words. I will simply “Cut and Paste” your story, as
submitted by you, into a web page. That means that any
typographical, spelling or grammar error will make it to the
page. I suggest that you enter your story into Word, and run
it though its spelling and grammar checker until you are
satisfied with the results. Then just email me that Word
document.
If you are so good at spelling
and grammar that you “DON’T NEED NO STINKIN SPELLING OR
GRAMMAR CHECKER”, then just email me your story (without the
caps, linefeeds, and hyphens) in an email message. By the
way, I am not worthy!
I hope to see some good participation on this. When family
visits, please show them this site as they may have some
helpful information to share.
