My Story - Don and Vivian McKinley's Life Together
by Don 'Cyber-Dad' McKinley

Not now, but I will write about Vivian and I and our life together later.
'Flaming' - I don't know what that is - to me, you are just feeling bad
that day, and the next day you will laugh over it. There are so many on the
list now that i don't know. Janet P. and Barb P. and Charlie M. have all
helped me through a lot. When someone says they are flaming me, I think
they must not have had PD for too long. Ten years to me is like a child to
some. (In re writing in caps like this) I am not yelling; it's so I can see
what I am typing. I am 77 years old, I have bad eyesight, and on top of all
that, my keyboard can't spell. A lot of the old-timers on the list might
remember how Janet P. would re-write my posts; Barb P. would help too. So
later I will write about my life with PD. I don't know if I will send it to
the list or to Sparkle? - the list I feel safe with. There are more and
more days when I am all goofed up, so much so that you all should tell me
where to put it. Oh, I forgot - Camilla and Peter - whom I still miss. So
till I hear back, I will wait to find out where to send it, even if I cry
in the meantime.

I.Y.Q. (I Like You)
Don
and Vivian, the love of my life for 56 years
