How nice a email message from your hubby. (g) My hubby, Bill, now
has his own computer and I have mine and we write notes back and
forth too. We will be married 15 yrs. in July, too. Bill made me
Valentine's Day card this year as he has Desk Top Publisher on
his new one. That was a surpraise as he never gets me a card as
usually we spend money on bills. Not being employed this year we
have lots of them.
Bill is disabled to heart problem. He is in expertimental laser
heart program in NYC. He had 26 holes drilled in his heart last
April 17th. He is like a turtle. Before he had surgery he wasn't
able to walk from car to apartment. Now he can and is able to go
back to school for retraining for computer desk job. We are both
going to school for retraining through VESID. It is program for
people that are disabled. We both have a learning disability.
Mine is in math, spelling, and memory. I am also a dislocated
worker. I used be switchboard operator and was replaced by voice
mail.
What ages are your children? Please write and tell me more about
yourself and family. If you would like to write email here is my
address: KWNewman@rochgte.fidonet.org
If you can't reach me on mine you can reach me at this address:
WTNewman@juno.com  this one is Bill's.
God Bless,
Kay
