"Lest We Forget"
My philosophy: In the race
through
life, I'm in no rush to reach the finish line.
One word is worth a thousand
pixels.
Not much graphics, eh? That's right--I'm a "text person." My
purpose is
to get information in and out as fast as possible. I detest those
wasteful graphics that slow down pages on the internet.
You don't have to worry about that from me. These pages are fast.
Well, as fast as the internet will allow.
Purpose of this Site:
General: This personal web site
supports my
interests in genealogy and family history, astronomy, computers,
writing, and photography of family, people and events in my life, and
most important: Just Plain Fun!
Details:
Genealogy: My interest and
research in genealogy and family history is enhanced by the publication
of my research here, in the hope that others interested in the same
lines of research will contact me for the exchange of
information.
Astronomy: I share my interest not only in my
limited observing, but involvement in events and people with activities
in astronomy.
Writings: General writing on various topics, mostly of a human
interest nature.
Photography: Picture album of my grandchildren, other members of
the
family, and friends. Various events of family interest.
Just Plain Fun! Learning about making up stuff on a web page.

... the
days before
metric?
Don't like metric? Then solve this problem:
"A fruit grower put up in boxes all the same size and keeping each kind
of fruit by itself, 15 bu. of plums, 16 bu. 7 gal. of peaches, 5 bu. 5
gal. of apricots and 7 bu. 6 gal. all but one pint of nectarines. Find
the fewest number of boxes he could possibly have used." From 'Public
School Arithmetic' for the Province of Ontario, 1878.
