Following (Subscribing to) The Bell Gram

After getting Ken.an's email I thought I would take a few minutes to see how one would go about subscribing to the BG. I have added the "following" gadget at the upper right hand corner. It should make it easy to subscribe to the BG. I believe you still might need a google account in order to do so, but I'm not sure. It would be good for everyone to get a google account, anyway. When creating it, put in your regular screen name, then put in display name of your choice (something that will let us know who you are. You will use it each time you write a comment on any of the posts on the BG. I will provide the link to the page for getting a google account again in case you no longer have it. Good luck. There are lots of possibilities, I'm sure, but it will take me a while to learn them all. If you have a tip or idea you think will be helpful, please pass it on. It will be appreciated. Happy following!!

Family Reunion & Keeping In Touch

Conversation with Phillip:
He wants to get the question out there so folks can think about when they want to have a family reunion. He also said he thinks it doesn't take too much effort for family members to call at least one other family member at least once a week. He said email is so impersonal and can't take the place of talking to each other. So any ideas about a reunion, let me know and I'll get the word out.
