Thank you for giving me a peek into your life back then. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see someone's post from one hundred years ago and compare notes?<br />My parents died in the early turn of the century and I remember the numb feeling. I didn't go to their funerals half a world away. I felt so glad I had visited a few years before to say my goodbyes.Francene Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298485336064691700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-64711561168858272492015-09-04T03:45:02.189-04:002015-09-04T03:45:02.189-04:00Oh!

In 1986 my secretary used a word processor, not a PC. And when our office got a fax machine, no one was allowed to touch it because the boss was afraid it would get broken.songbird's crazy worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473854543986991104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-19616142109489365482015-09-03T19:20:37.920-04:002015-09-03T19:20:37.920-04:00I am touched at the poignant account of your loss....I am touched at the poignant account of your loss.

Looking back at the pre-internet times, it difficult to fathom as to how we managed to get by our lives for now we hardly take eyes off the cell phone and television.

The uncle is a Catholic priest and sadly couldn't make it to preside over his father's last rights. That's the way it was and every one accepted it. These days, every small thing seems to be an emergency with our cell phones and all the connectivity.Corinne Rodrigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142098428026084994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-15157447206496034992015-09-03T11:17:32.410-04:002015-09-03T11:17:32.410-04:00It is amazing to think how we all managed to survi...It is amazing to think how we all managed to survive without all this modern technology.

But, the big difference is that those of us who traveled knew every airline number by heart, the numbers of all our relatives were in the recesses of our brain. Now? If it's not in the memory of our smartphones, we are lost. Because there are no longer even directories (correct ones) that list all the numbers...Cerebrations.bizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273098928740152430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-90848494868019633572015-09-03T07:31:53.207-04:002015-09-03T07:31:53.207-04:00Oh Alana!
