Hi Everyone,
Thanks for signing on, Beth. Boston, Los Angeles, Illinois, and Virginia
were some of the other locations represented.
Although PowerPoint is possible, we are also able to do co-browsing of web
pages. For this program, we found stories by women describing their
overland journeys and life on the frontier, women describing their sisters
as soldiers in the Civil War, their work for emancipation and in WWII. The
software allowed us to take participants to these materials on our web site
for them to read and discuss with others.
Stay tuned. We'll be conducting these monthly. Poetry, veterans' stories,
and summer travel & leisure activities are the themes for the next three
months.
Any personal requests would be gladly accepted off-list to Judy Graves
([log in to unmask]).
Have a good weekend,
Judy
