Below are the five handwritten pages that composed the original story as written a few days after January 23, 1990.  These pages were packed in the wrong box on a clip board when we moved in 1999 and were just recovered in April of 2003.  Before presenting the pages, I read them to make sure there were no last names or sections that were left off the electronic version.  There is one section that I felt back in the early ninties that got a little too personal before it was first entered into my TI-99/4A computer.  This section has been obsecured on page four.  The story was transeffed into an AppleIIgs computer in late 1991 and eventually was converted to HTML later in the ninties.

The story relects my younger mind's complete confusion and fear of the future.  It was amazing how few mistakes are scribbled out when I wrote this.  The proof I was going to be fine is in the happy face found on page five. My problems now days involve more than broken hearts and difficult classes in school.  I am also more trusting in Jesus to help me through problems that I was in my early twenties.  It is comforting sitting where I am in the future to see the eventual outcome of this story beyond early 1990.  Likewise, it was nice to retrieve the artifacts from the past and present them in this century...
