Our recent history.
Our eldest son Jack died of bile duct cancer on November 11, 1996. The disease was lethal, and we knew it as early as January of 96. You can imagine what Dolores, I, Jack, his wife Monica, and their three children went through. An interesting sidelight to the drama that unfolded was Jack's avid interest in his computer and the Internet. They helped keep him fighting and being lucid through his last night on earth. One lasting memory was his downloading something off the net for Dolores a few hours before his death. He encouraged me to get a computer and to become computer literate. The pressure was simply too great for me to get involved while he was sick. One of the last few things that he said that I vividly remember was that he did not want his computer to become a big paper weight. In the interest of helping his children stay interested , I did get a computer in April and started to get a handle on it. I did not start from scratch, but not far from it. I started with E-mail, then Windows 95, the Internet, and now with a web page. Well, I can see now why Jack was so intrigued. He loved news groups related to his music interests. I am discovering my own version of news groups connecting with as many of my friends through E-mail, and linking to as many of their web sites as I can locate. I think the Woodsons will be helping me in these efforts. I also plan to gather as much information as I can about Jack and publish it here. This is helping me feel a spark that has been missing for a while. Thanks to Jim Bolner for his indefatigable mentoring. An update as of October 16, 1998. We are doing well. The business is still going well. Monica and the children are happy, and Monica will remarry soon to a fine man. Grace and peace.
