I
am a deaf woman with a very nice husband. I am homemaker and he
is a Police Sergeant. I am retired from the Federal Aviation Administration
on a disability pension. I worked in the Airspace Obstructions
office in the AirTraffic Division, Great Lakes Region.
I started making web pages when I was helping my
husband work on his page.
Most of my computer skills were learned by experience. I worked
on his photographs, the page layout, and making backgrounds and
wallpapers. We travel around the Midwest chasing trains, investigating
highway routings, going to antique stores, and taking photos of
weird stuff.
I also enjoy reading and learning about computers.
We have both Macs and Windows PC's. Our latest Macs have Intel
chips and can also run Windows. We use a flatbed scanner and digital
cameras.
When I worked at the mortgage department at the
bank I used a old IBM computer printing mortgage contracts. This
was about 1979 or 1980.
My husband taught me how to use a Macintosh in
1994, it was very easy to learn. No classes or anything, it just
took a day or so. Macs are great! Windows are not!
We browse the Web a lot. I look for new graphics
to use on our pages, new web page ideas, and info for both our
pages. I look for crafting sites, new and used books and other
stuff. We correspond with a lot of people via e-Mail.
I was born in Pikeville
KY, and grew up in Elkhorn
City. We lived in a holler called Beaver Creek, on the Right
Fork, near to where country
singer Patty Loveless grew up.
