Zoo Reviewed Renewed

We started nearly 30 years ago with the "Zoo Review", a weekly family letter printed on our first computer, a Compaq Portable, printed on an Epson RX80 dot matrix printer. The software was something basic but did allow columns and some graphics. It took us hours each week to produce it. Part of that was because we had all of the kids contribute (well, the ones that could write or at least talk). At some point, we may try to scan in some of the "archives".

Now we are finding that we are enjoying evenyone's blogs so much that we decided to give it a try. We hope it works better than the web pages we produced 2 years ago (it lasted about four months). We find that blogs help us keep in touch with neices, nephews, cousins, friends, and even children who live far away (and some not so far).

We thank all who spend a lot of time so far in post entries for us to enjoy, especially our two sons and neices Carol Ann and Mallory, and several others that I am forgetting right now.

A disclaimer - both of us are over 50 and reserve the right to forget things that have happened to us over 10 minutes ago.
