 GR> Regina,
 GR> Thanks for Jonathon's response to Ada's request for a pen-pal.  I have
 GR> a few extra kids here that also want to write, so we'll make sure there
 GR> are some responses.  Please be aware that the mail on this net moves
 GR> slowly at times, so it may take a few days before you hear a response
 GR> from us.  (Almost as bad as snail mail).
 Thanks for their replies.  Jonathon and Sara will write back as soon as
 we get our computer back together.  We had to change the BBS some so it
 was down for two days.  I am hoping someone will respond to Jeremy too.
 The kids have gone on the BBS checking for mail and I'm sure they will
 do great.  If you let the kids get on the internet or have access to
 an internet gateway, they left their address' in the first message.
 I saw the response was on the 17 and I think today is the 19 so that
 isn't bad.  Of course, we were down for two days with no mail too.
 Thanks
 Regina

Regina,
My E-Mail address is grichard@execpc.com

If a quicker response is needed for something, go ahead and use the
e-mail address.  The nice thing about the FIDONET is we can do this with
an off-line mail reader.  Our internet gateway for e-mail is a little
inconvenient for pen-palling.  Let me see what I can do for Jeremy.  My
apologies on his being left-out.  I'll get my oldest daughter to write
to him or my 4th born could do dictation with me doing the writing.

Again, thanks for the replies.

Glenn

I got my "computer lovin'" daughter an email address so that she could 
communicate with her uncle under her own name. I never thought of having her 
do a penpal that way. I'll ask her - she's 9, almost 10, and in 4th grade.

'Tis the season, I guess. I missed a bunch when I transfered hubs, then some 
during my hard drive crash.
