Welcome Sisters
At this time there are thirteen members of the Web Tv Help Center Committee, and we would all like to extend the warmest of welcomes to you.
Among other things, the Web Tv Committee members will be providing assistance to LOTH sisters to learn how to do more things with their Web Tv units, so we thought it would be nice if we each introduced ourselves to you. These aren't fancy bio's just a little something about ourselves to make you feel like you know us all a little bit better. We will all be working together as a group to help you with any Web Tv problems you have. So on with the introductions!
~~Chairwoman~~ Hello, my name is Jerrye and I am so happy and honored to be the Chairwoman of this Committee. I was born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina, close to my family's roots in the Great Smoky Mountains. My ancestry is Native American, Scots-Irish and German, somehow explaining why I am also known as Palefawn and Jeremia. While growing up there, I heard a lot of folklore, learned to do many handcrafts, came to love animals and nature and gained an appreciation for art in all forms. I live in St. Petersburg, Florida with my husband of 25 years, Louis. My wonderful son and lovely daughter are now grown, and I maintain a fantastic relationship with them both. Louis and I do have two fur babies, Bud and Rosie, our precious cats. After working all my life I retired in 1990 because of health problems and I don't get out much anymore. But in spite of this I maintain a strong spiritual conviction and continue with my love of poetry, art, crafting, reading, researching genealogy and cooking, among other things. Now through the use of WEB TV and a computer a whole new world on the internet has been opened up to me. I hope through my work to share a little something of that world and mine with you.
I have been a member of LOTH for about a year and have come to know several of our Sisters and hope to know even more. Never have I known such a loving and caring group of Ladies. My goal for the Committee is to make all of our lives richer by reaching out to all of our Sisters. We were recently asked a question about what LOTH has meant to us. I believe that I can answer that question best by saying that "LOTH is in my heart and it will stay forever, because of YOU". I will always strive to be an asset to this wonderful group of ladies who are Our Sisters. |
~~Co-Chairwoman~~ Hi, my name is Margaret, also known to some as the Briarpatchlady and to others as Firewoman. I have not been a member of LOTH for very long, but in the time I have been I have been completely overwhelmed with the love and caring you all seem to exhibit. I really am glad to be a part of such a wonderful and caring group of ladies. Having only a brother, I many times dreamed what it would be like to have a sister and now I know because I have many. As some of you may know I am Jerrye's daughter and in many ways I am just like her. I would not even begin to try to tell you all about myself because it would take at least 5 whole webpages, but I will skim the surface. I have lived in Virginia since 1974 where I married. I never was able to have children so I have a zoo. My furrbabies are my children and one of the most important things in my life. My husband passed away in 1995 but I have a wonderful man in my life named James. I am no longer able to work because of chronic health problems, so to occupy my time I have become glued to my computer. There is much I still have to learn as I have only had my computer since January. Prior to that I had a Web Tv unit which I still use some today. The things I love are God, my family (including my furrbabies of course!), my computer, my doctor for helping to keep me alive, anything country, reading, music, playing pool, cheescake, icecream and of course my moms fried chicken. I also love to learn anything new. I have always been an outdoors person very into nature and Mother Earth. I am currently on a quest to find my ancestors. Well that about does it, if I tell you anything else
I love we will definately be on page two. Come visit me and mom at
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/9169/index.html . So I will bid you adieu for now
and hope you stay well, happy and keep learning all you can.

~~Committee Member~~ My name is Sue..... aka ~Rexy on the internet. I have had my webtv for two years now and since first getting it and discovering the wonders of surfing the internet I have purchased a computer. Now I am addicted to graphics and backgrounds and designing web pages: https://members.tripod.com/Rexy98_2/index.html from my pc; and surfing the net from the comfort of my old blue rocker, emailing and and posting in several alt.discuss newsgroups, and interviewing and writing articles about webtvers for Net4TV Voice with my beloved webtv. I am a 48 year old widow, my husband died 10 years ago at the age of 39. My two children, the loves and priorities of my life have somehow grown into young adults.... My daughter is 21 and a senior on scholarship at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. My son who is almost 20 barely made through high school and is a hard working stock manager for a popular grocery store... I have lived in Naples, Fl, since 1972, and just turned in my worn out waitress uniform for an exciting assistant managerial position at a wonderful new Mexican American Restaurant. It keeps me busy and out of trouble. I live minutes from one of the most beautiful Gulf Beaches and love Sunsets and can often be found photographing the beauty of a day drifting into night....

~~Committee Member~~ 
Though Summerstorm left us in January, 2000 and travelled up to
heaven, she will remain a part of this committee in spirit. She
was one of the founding Committee Members and did a lot of the
original work on this Help Center. Her contributions to this and
many other worthy causes will surely be missed by many.
The Web TV Help Center is dedicated to the memory of Suzie
"Summerstorm", gone up to heaven but never to be forgotten. Please click on the picture above to go to a tribute page set up in honor of
Summerstorm, there is a guestbook if you would like to pay your respects or say a few words in her memory.
Below is her original personal biography as submitted in her own words when she joined the Committee. I have had webtv for 2 1/2 years. I taught myself html and to build web pages. What ever I wanted to do....I just searched the net until I found a tutorial to tell me how to do it. There wasn't much help out there when webtv first came out. I am a 52 year old wife and mother. I have been a stay at home mom since my daughter was born in 1974. I also have a 21 year old son who lives here with his Dad and me. I have been bedridden the past 4 years due to medical problems so I have all the time in the world to help people. Before I was a big nature lover....all of my hobbies were connected with the outdoors. I was a avid gardner, bird watcher, amateur astronomer, fossil hunter, mineral collector, nature photographer, fisherman,and hiker. Now I am stuck in bed 24/7 and I never get to go outside any more. No one could ever know how much I miss it but you play the hand your dealt and some how God gets me through each day. If it wasn't for my webtv I would go nuts!!! |

~~Committee Member~~ Well, I will start with the BIO first. I am 37, but very soon to be 38, (15th of Sept). I have been in the Army for the last six years, but by the 26th of September, I will be out of the army. Right now, I am, for all intents and purposes, out of the army, because I don't have to go back to work. I began making webpages because my son had been killed by a drunk driver and I wanted to get a memorial on line and allow others the chance to get to know my son http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Villa/2066/troy/index.html . First I used an editor, but thanks to http://www.vu.org I have learned HTML and it was SO easy...I encourage anyone who has the time, to go there. I am a CL for Geocities and I work in HotSprings and Rodeo Drive. In RD, I am also a co-liaison and mentor, which I enjoy also. Being in the army, it has been pretty hard to spread myself so thin, but I think it will be a little easier now. I write articles for LOTH WOTW and I edit a newsletter for pagecrazy...I am fairly computer literate and have learned quite a bit about graphics, but I will never know enough. I hope to be able to help anyone that needs it...Oh yeah, I have been told by my friends that I am TOO good at proofreading (I think I get on their nerves!). The time I have, will come and go...all I can say is what ever you send me, will get done as soon as possible. As things happen, I will keep in touch. forluvofpets@yahoo.com (new project) I want to educate others to the damage that abandoning pets can do to everyone. |
