Hello. This is a little off topic but I just wanted to pass this along to
you. In recent weeks, several people have mentioned that they wished they
had listened to the older people in their families concerning the stories
and family traditions of earlier times. Some of you have even mentioned
that you are now trying to interest the children in your own families in
genealogy (children, grandchildren, niece, nephew, etc.) so they don't have
the same regrets that you do.
As we all know, unless a child finds something at least remotely
interesting, it is unlikely that they will retain stories, concepts, etc.
for any length of time....if they ever get it at all.
I recently found a series of books that some of you might be interested in.
They are called American Kids in History by David C. King. The three of
the series that I have are "Civil War Days," "Pioneer Days," and "Wild West
Days." There are also other books like "Colonial Days" and "Victorian
Days." Basically each book takes a fictional family and uses crafts,
cooking, prose, making homemade toys, and other activities to show how they
lived and interacted with each other and their environment.
I'm not talking out of the top of my hat here, I homeschool my kids and I
have reviewed a lot of children's materials and these books are good. It
makes history interesting because it adds hands on type activities and
stories that the child can relate to, as well as making it more personal by
having the activities revolve around a fictional, but very believable,
family. The books are also attractively bound (paperback) and interestingly
llustrated with easy instructions for the crafts.
I don't mean this to be a commercial or sponsorship of these books, but I
wanted to pass the information along to those of you who are interested.
After using these books, my kids are interested in finding out about our own
ancestors and can more easily relate to them because they have an
understanding of how the lived. It also gives them a kick to think that gre
at great....grandfather so and so must have done this as a boy and he wore
those kinds of clothes and great great....grandmother didn't get to wear
pants (she had to wear long skirts with umpteen petticoats even in the
hottest weather).....and now when they think about how Aunt and Uncle so and
so left the rest of the family and moved west they understand how truly
difficult a choice that must have been.
Just a thought,

First, let me apologize to anyone who may have been affected/infected by a
email post of mine. When I first realized what was happening I had to email
everyone in my address book because I wasn't sure if the virus/worm had
compromised my address book or not.
Second, this is a really new one folks. Neither McAfee nor Norton
recognized it at first. I had to go to a third virus scan to find it. Once
I found it I was able to back track it using Symantec's website. As a
matter of fact, it wasn't originally detected by the antivirus companies
until 1-13-2000.
What was happening...in case you are having the same problem...was that all
my incoming mail was immediately being forwarded to my outbox and being
returned to its sender...only now with my name on it...with an attachment.
It went something like this:
"Sorry that I can't respond immediately, but please check out this
attachment and tell me what you think."
As you can see, even if you knew the sender it was disguised so well that
you might not suspect until it was too late that it could be a worm.
Here is the website that will tell you more about it:
www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.plage.worm.html
The worm sets itself up in a file in windows called intend.exe So far I
haven't found anything that will clean it up....so I performed radical
surgery and just deleted the application. It hasn't affected the
performance of my computer; however, the worm also altered my .ini file and
now I have to figure out how to get it back the way it belongs. If anyone
has any ideas .... please help.
Again, I really am sorry if this has caused anyone any grief. I ought to
know better, but I knew who the original sender was and didn't even think
that it could be a worm/Trojan.
If attachments are still going out on my emails, please let me know!

I am so sorry to have to be writing this. Sometime between midnight last
night and 5 pm today, I apparently got infected with some kind of
worm/virus.
DO NOT open any attachments that you may have received from me. I'm not
sending them. As my mail comes in it is automatically being diverted to my
outbox and sent back out to whoever sent it to me in the first place. I'm
not allowing this to happen and I can't figure out how to stop it.
If anyone has heard of this particular worm/virus and knows how to stop
it....PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!!!
I apologize if this has caused anyone any problems. I can't find any new
.exe files on my hard drive and I am searching all the files that were
modified within the last 24 hours.
Any of you computer brains out there have any ideas...besides blowing up my
hard drive....I'd really appreciate it!!!
