 =Meet New Founder Frank=

WOW!!

My pleasure to accept a Foundership, to say the least!

First of all, being born in Pa., Residing in Hamburg for
over 20 years,

Working at Dana Corp for over 34 Years, after being
discharged from the U.S.ARMY.

Married to a sweet woman from Costa Rica of who had just
arrived a few weeks ago to try out the US!

Having been a member of the *Joe’s Sharing and Caring Society*
close to its formation ages ago and being highly thankful of
its existence! Brother Joe has bailed me out on
many occasions! Remembering quite a while back of big problems
with my Computer, with Joe spending over 1 ¾ hrs
with me on the phone straightening the mess out. 
I've come a long way since then but not without his help
and others in this fabulous Society!

 I'm always telling people of "JC&SS"

Hoping they will join to be able to enrich themselves
with their knowledge of the Computer and the dangers
also associated therewith!

My favorite likes are Camel Cigarettes and Miller High Life!

We have to have some spice in our life!

Main Hobby is Probably my Computer and trying to learn a little
more day by day, as there is so much to learn -- you can never learn
enough!  Although still considering myself a "Newbie" in my
estimation! Considering being asked to be a "Founder" a very high
reward!
 

Favorite Quote "Kay sa rah--say rah"

'Whatever will be--will be”- don’t even know if it’s
spelled correctly?

Thanks again!

New Founder Sharlett  

(She is also our In-house Poet!)

I am so proud and happy at having been invited to be a Founder of our
great society! 
I never dreamed I would be honored as such!  I've been
a member a couple years now and don't know a lot about
computers but I know much more than most I have talked
with who've had a computer for years longer. 
My first association with my dear sweet Joe was a question. 
A friend had told me that he could help me with my
computer problem so I emailed him and he fixed whatever
it was.  This man has been such an example in loving and caring to
me ever since. 

 I have always looked forward to my newsletter and make sure
I have time to thoroughly enjoy it as there are many things
of interest daily.  I personally know a couple of the founders and
think it is just amazing what they do and all so unselfishly sharing
their knowledge.  Thanks to Joe and the Founders and
members, I believe this to be the very best newsletter on the Internet! 

  I consider myself a writer or I strive to be.  I am a Viet Nam Era
veteran who was a teenager in the late sixties. 
I was a flower child and still consider myself as such.
Living here in Central Florida, I am able to grow many different
types of lovely flowers.  I believe in God and love of country
and man.  I also love my little pets, Precious, my little Hemingway
cat and Sweetie, my parakeet, who hangs upside down in his
cage, like a bat.  They show me unconditional love and are teaching me daily
about life.

  I enjoy cooking but have to watch myself when I get in the candy, cake,
or pie making mood.  I love sweets and like to bake.  I share
all my goodies with friends and neighbors.  If not I
would weigh a ton and be a walking heart attack
because I do enjoy eating.  I think that goes along with liking to cook. 

  I write for a few newsletters, The Sermon Illustrator, being
one, also Storytime Tapestry, on which I am a senior writer. 
I also have stories and poems in hard copy newsletters and
our local paper.  I recently realized a lifelong dream of having
a book published.  It is a book of poems, called, Sharlett's
Web of Hope.  It can be purchased online at Amazon,
BartlesandJames.com and publishamerica.com or ordered at your
favorite bookstore. 

  For years I have wanted to study to become a minister and am
starting an online course this year.  It is actually a
Chaplain course and I feel like I can do some good in this
capacity as God has given me so much.  My life is truly
blessed and I am so blessed to know each and every one of you!

 Thanks Joe, for this lovely gift !

Dear Founder Joe!

Such a privilege to be asked to be a Founder!

The newsletter and graphics are awesome.  I believe that the Society's

Web pages and letters are the most beautiful and useful on the net.  The

Members are like many facetted jewels in a grand design of which I am

Proud to be a tiny part.

If I were to tell you anything about myself, it would be to say that I

appreciate, like many others, all that is good and beautiful; and hope

to be able to contribute to the beneficial endeavors of this community.

My first introduction to the newsletter began with a discussion with a

young lady who worked in a computer store about four years ago.  Her

enthusiasm and assured manner convinced me that anything was possible

with these machines (computers).  She highly recommended that I

subscribe to the newsletter.  All questions, big or small, would be

cheerfully answered there.  I have been tinkering ever since then, in an

effort to discover what makes computers tick!  The challenge has become

both a hobby and occasional business.

My other endeavor is working for a local library in a small town east

of Edmonton, Alberta.  Bits, Bytes AND Books!  Occasionally I enjoy spending time
with my daughter, her husband and two Boys ages 4 and 6. 
They are a constant source of inspiration.  Perhaps, someday,
when I get my nose out of the computers long enough,
I'll finish renovating the kitchen I tore apart.

My original home was in southern Ontario .... but computer literacy

knows no bounds.  Just imagine .... we are all World citizens!

Thank you again so much!

Happy Surfin'!

Hi Joe, I am honored, proud, and indeed privileged to be
asked to be a Founder of Joe's Sharing and Caring Society....
I have really enjoyed receiving the Newsletter and the
graphics that we receive. This Newsletter has so much to offer
to others. 

I am a helper at heart. I always love to help 
others (when I can right now I am home bound)
at church, family, friends, and at my job when I had one.
Just recently I was asked to be a Greeter in the Bible
Study Chat room that I attend daily...Isn't God something
else, you see, I was a Hostess, Usher/Greeter at the
churches I attended and now God put me right back
where He knows I love to be. 

I, as you know, am a novice when it comes to doing graphics but
I have so much fun putting them together. I am a part
of a graphics group and they send out challenges for us to do
and this way I am learning how to use the tools on PSP that I have. 

The picture that I send you is My Dad and me. My Dad is the best
 in the world...You see if God would have asked me
to give Him a description on how I would like my Dad to be...
I could not give Him one because God gave me the very best.

Well I could share lots more but I think that I had better
stop here because I would use up all the WRITE MAILS
that there is...LOL..... God Bless you, Joe 

In Jesus' Love,

Rebecca 

I am 54 years old. I have 3 sons ages 30..26...
and 14...I love walking in old cemeteries,
crafts, recipes, gardening both flower and
garden (I can what I grow)  making new
friends on the internet, I am very much
family oriented and recently lost my sister to cancer,
as most of you know.

I really love this sight! I have subscribed since
I first got my computer in 2000,, and don't ask me
who recommended it! Perhaps through searches...
Because I do search a lot, that is how I find many links
to send to the society.

And I am and always will remain

I’m married and have 2 kids, both (kids) are
out of the house.  My daughter is a designer
at a local independent kitchen manufacturer
and my son is a true “Starving Artist” getting himself
organized in marketing his work while in Thailand. 

My bride, Laney and I have a dog; a getting-up-there
Bichon Frisee named Jake, who keeps us company.   
I have been self employed for the last 11 years.
And spend most of my working time in the nuclear
business CANDU technology.  I enjoy poking at my
Computer, mucking about in the garden and the
house with my bride, fishing, camping and VWs.

 I was born in Arnhem, Holland.  I came to Canada in 1953,
growing up in Aurora, Ontario.  I graduated from
high school in ’70 and TS of HK* several times since then.
I have been living in Peterborough,
Ontario, my wife’s hometown, since 1971. 

Founder Symen and I go back to our mutual
interest in motor sports in the ‘70s and ‘80s.  It was
Symen who introduced me to Joe’s group.  

 I enjoy the “stuff” the Sharing and Caring Society sends
out and the contributions of the members.  There is
always something to learn, something to make you laugh
(or cry) and something to make you think. 

What more could you want free at your inbox
every single day of the year?!

Founder Sylvia

 I was born and raised in Alabama, attended 
college for one year, met and married my ex-husband and moved to New Jersey.  I still 
live in New Jersey.  I have two children
and four grandchildren.  I will be 67 years old 
in August.

 I was sort of forced into early retirement 
when I lost my job at age 61.  No doors were opening for me at that age, and no pension 
was forthcoming.  I spent my new found
time gardening and I get compliments on my efforts.  I love to just sit and admire the flowers 
and plants.  It has a calming effect on me. 

I love music and when I was younger, I loved
to dance.  I guess you have surmised by this time
that I love sending animations.

 This quote caught my attention recently and I saved it.

“With each new dawn, life delivers a package to your Front door rings your doorbell and runs.”
