Internet Friends
 

MY INTERNET FRIENDS

 

I feel very fortunate to have met some wonderful people on the internet
through a chat room named WBS. The chatroom is long gone now, but the friends remain.
Some I have had the good fortune to have met in person.
All are unique and wonderful friends.

 

Friends
~~~~~~~~~

Like the tributaries that flow to the sea
Reach out in time and you know there I'll be
To offer you comfort though near or far
To offer my friendship wherever you are

OttoPHD is the first person I met on the internet on March 7, 1997.
I felt an immediate connection with him and I credit the fact that I am still on-line to his patience and understanding.
He helped me out of many computer glitches and encouraged me to keep trying even when I thought I would
never get the hang of it. For that I am truly thankful.

August 24th, 1999: I had the opportunity to meet Otto for a few hours with his lovely cousin, Marisoldue,
when I flew down to visit with her for a week. They gave me a very special birthday surprise.
I'll never forget the time spent with them. They were both every bit as wonderful as I thought they would be.

 

 

PJ8 was the second person I met on the internet. We are Kindred Spirits.
We both felt like we had known each other all our lives. We even had a lot of the same favourites
including two very old, very obscure movies called "The Day The Earth Stood Still" starring Michael Remi
and "Imitation of Life" with Lana Turner.
PJ takes care of her wonderful little grand daughter, Mariah. I have flown out west to visit her,
Mariah and the rest of the family twice now.

 

 

Marisoldue is OttoPHD's cousin. He introduced us one night about a week after I met him
and we eventually became E-mail buddies. Marisoldue is one of the most interesting people I know.
She is an artist and does a lot of travelling when she's not busy digging in her garden or
chasing down her menagerie of pets. She's been an inspiraton at times, and a great comfort at others.
Her homepage is included in my links and is full of wonderful pictures of her many talents.
I can't say enough about this lady. I flew down to visit her twice now and popped in for a
quick visit one day a few years ago, with Bob and Kenny. She and husband, Bob (yup, she's got one too)
were just as wonderful as I thought they would be. I'll never forget my time with them and their wonderful pets.
She's beautiful inside as well as out. Thanks Bob, for the loan of your *family*!
Check out my Philly page to see the fun we had on that first trip.

 

 

I met Kkylara one day in the WBS chat room. She was always so friendly. We met for the first time
face to face in Ottawa at an internet bash and then she came up for a weekend a few weeks later.
We had a great time and became good friends. She's been back for a few visits since then.

 

 

OREGON RIVER I also met one day while chatting on-line in WBS. He noticed that I mentioned
wanting to take a trip to Oregon and struck up a conversation with me. We quickly became friends.
He travels a lot to foreign countries, so he has to be away from his family for weeks at a time.
Family means a lot to him and he is very proud of his children. I hope to have the opportunity
to meet him when I go to Oregon someday.
