Jerri,

Yes, we could have learned a lot from the internet when we were kids. And of course there were no educational shows on tv. Gene Autry & Roy Rogers was about the only education we got on Sat. mornings. Oh, I forgot. Heckle & Jeckle. I watch them now and they are terrible for kids to watch.

I love doing research and love kids, so teaching them goes hand in hand with those. Did I tell you that I volunteer Tues. mornings at the boys' school? I help the kids who have learning disabilities and those who get behind. I love it there, especially the grade 2 class. I interact with it more. In the grade 4 class, I usually help 2 boys who have learning disabilities. They're great, but at that age they have a tendency to not listen as well.

Thanks for opening both discussions and for your kind words and support. You're a great friend.
