Three Upgrades

1. Photo Upgrade — Ginny and I only snapped a few photos, but if you want to see another nine pages full of photos taken by other people at Donald & Helen’s wedding, click here at http://photos.rdex.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=448 .

2. Website Upgrade — Yesterday, in the Jacksonville section of my website (www.cowart.info) I scanned in a history of Baldwin, Florida, the most western part of Jacksonville. It was written by Lillian Adams in 1976 as a U.S. Bicentennial project. Mrs. Adams granddaughter gave me permission to scan this copy onto the web.

I think it enormously important to preserve elements of our history because once the tales of our forbearers are lost, they are very difficult for a historian to recover. I wish I’d somehow recorded the tales of my grandparents.

3. Television Upgrade — Now that the election is over, instead of running political commercials, last night one local television news broadcast was devoted to how to treat head lice. I think that’s a step up.
