Thank You for your interest in my page and in "WORDS ON A SCREEN." I would really be honored if you signed my guestbook and let me know what you think of the song, as well as anything else you felt about your visit here.


Rachel, I enjoyed my St. Patrick's Day card. I finally had time to look over your home page. I learned a lot about both you and Bob, and why Alden is always singing Beatle's songs and was very proud that he has recently learned "My Green Tambourine." It also helps to explain the Native American drum Bob and Alden made for me. I suppose we are all very much alike. I'll see you about "Web Page 101" when school starts. Phil Novitsky

Hi Rachel !!!
I'm way down yonder toward NewOrleans visiting my three
older kids (my two married daughters are both pregneant and
expecting my first grandkids in April). I stopped in CA on
the way and picked up my youngest, Megan. I think you met her.
Can't really remember.
It's the grandfather thing catching up with me.
Anyway, I don't get on the net at home, so I thought I would take
this oppurtunity to write, say Hi Ya'll and again remind you of how blessed
I feel to know you.
Later,
Dale

Hi Rachel,

Really enjoyed your Web page. When I read your poems and biography about your clan I really felt a nice
calming affect and kind of at home. In fact, we live in the same city.

If you want another friend, here I am. I'm also a transplant, but from the south west and got really tired of the dry
heat all the time and moved a cool wet place. So when Portlanders wine about the 95 degree heat, I just laugh and say
It's just right!

I'm studying computer information systems at PCC. I want to change careers and raise my lifes standards and enjoy life more.
Some day, I want to start my own web page, hoping I can get some help from you from time to time.

Well, just wanted to say hi and share a little.

Sincerely,

Ed

I'll be visiting your fair city for a business meeting this week. Just a couple of days though. I have been there before, but I always look forward to seeing Portland again. Last time we took a cruise on the river, and I think that is on the agenda for this year as well. I also saw the famous Dragon Boat teams practicing for the big race.

I still check in on your page from time to time, and I always enjoy the visit.

Just a short note to tell you how much I appreciate the

it in the tuna news. Keep up the great!! work. Now that
you got me writing poetry again, maybe I can have you put a

I was starting to get a complex *grin* cuz no one seemed to want to write in my guestbook. Then I realized that it was BROKEN, ever since I made a correction for someone who put their home # in here by mistake.
Unfortunately, I was in such a hurry to get it out for him, I didn't save a copy of that number. So, if you were the DJ in NEW YORK, please write again. I would LOVE for you to play my song on your show!

Thanks again for all the kind support and well wishes!

Hope this w*rks now.

Haven't heard the song yet but like the rest of them, I sure do love your message.I guess we all realize that there's just not enough love sweet love in this world. Thanks for creating some more. I have 6 grandchildren and the oldest who is 5 years old likes to blow kisses to me when she goes to bed even if I already tucked her in and kissed her good night. She's so sweet, just a natural loving heart. You seem to be that kind of person also. I'm blowing you a kiss, let me know if you got it.

No one can tell the story so beautifull. That will let people to get more info some different sides of Internet Life . who knows maybe when young generations listen the song, they are going to think about the Internet Society and Life, who knows they can study and focus on these subjects and they will see how the life and future are drawn .

Thanks Rachel for your wonderful song .

Hiya Rach!

I came right here, so naturally I haven't seen the song yet, which is typical of how my entire life is lived. I will be sure to read it before signing off..but do you really want a review from someone who's idea of classical music is Julio Iglesias singing "Feelings"?

See you online soon!!

All the best,

Congratulations, Rachel!
Seldom has a song been more in the image of its writer.
There is much crap on the Net, and still more hyperbole
written about it, but occasionally one still comes across
something genuine, with a human touch behind it. This
little song is one example, and a reminder that all too
often we forget that there is a someone and not a machine
at the other end of those fibre-optic cables.
If ever anyone deserved success with it, you do.
Long may you run.
