 GR> Regina,

 GR> Jeremy.  My apologies on his being left-out.  I'll get my oldest

 GR> Again, thanks for the replies.
 No problem.  Jeremy got the response and was so excited.  I never saw
 this kid so excited about writing.  We run a BBS so it was easy to
 set things up.  They have their own Bwave and we have internet mail
 access for our readers.  Now that the kids have a part of the BBS they
 can receive and send it also.  I'm not sure how the moderator feels
 about this pen-pal stuff so I wanted to be sure the kids could use
 internet mail if necessary.  Setting up Bwave was kinda tough though.
 Had to set up a folder for each one with their mail being u/l and d/l
 locally.  Doesn't matter to Jeremy who writes him.  His letters probably
 won't be long as he has always hated writing and therefore his skills
 are not very sharp for his age.  I thought this would give the kids
 incentive to write more.
 We did a paper a couple of weeks ago.  They had to write a real story.
 Jeremy's was 3 sentences.  Sara's was 3 pages and Jon's was 1 1/2 pages.
 Sara is my perfectionist and very high IQ girl.  Jon is learning disabled
 but is doing fairly well.  Jeremy is ADHD and tries real hard, but can't
 concentrate very well.  He wrote in the ADHD area and for 10 minutes he
 kept erasing it over and over again.  I finally wrote it for him, my
 words and his ideas.  To show him how to start.  He should be okay with
 answering though as the ideas will already be there.  Thanks alot.
 Regina
... All I need is a Wave and a board to surf it on.
