Welcome
to Our Web Site!
In
Memory of Host John
June 20, 1922 -- September 6, 2005
The following is the greeting
Host John wrote to welcome all to this web site:
"I want to introduce myself as Host
for Elders
Without Walls. I was
asked by the Webmaster if I would like to contribute to the activities
of Elders Without Walls and I thought it would be a privilege to
do so.
"I am 83 years old, born in 1922 (a wonderful
year) in La Crosse, Wisconsin. My
wife and I have lived and worked in many parts of the United States in
the telecommunications industry. We
retired in Tampa, Florida some 18 years ago.
We keep active doing work around the house and yard, and visit
with friends.
"Elders Without Walls has been a favorite
web site for us as it gives us the opportunity to talk with others our
age by way of E-mails. We
also surf the net by way of the links that it provides."
About this Site...
This web site is designed to be a
communication vehicle for the residents of all assisted living
facilities,
including nursing homes and retirement homes.
The Message Board
and the E-Mail Pen-Pal Directory provide an easy and fun
way for the residents of these facilities to correspond with each other and with the general public.
Family members, staff, and volunteers
assist residents that need help by posting new messages on the
message board for them, and by helping them read and reply to their e-mail messages.
Residents of assisted living facilities may have their names and
e-mail addresses appear on this web site on the E-Mail
Pen-Pal Directory page if
they would like to receive e-mail messages from others in assisted
living
facilities and from the general public.
Residents may also provide
information such as hobbies and interests, former occupations, the name
of their home town, and military branch and units (if applicable).
If you are interested in sending an e-mail to
these
residents, please browse through our E-Mail Pen-Pal Directory to find someone
with whom you share a common interest or background.
Residents, please go
to the E-Mail Pen-Pal Directory page and fill
out the on-line form if you would like your name and e-mail address to
appear on this web site.
Members of the general public are welcome, and we
invite and encourage you to participate in the message board discussions and to post a message of greeting to the residents.
This message board is monitored by the
web masters. Any
offensive postings will not be read to the residents and will be deleted
immediately.
Thank you for visiting The "Elders Without Walls"
web site! We hope that you will "drop by" often to visit with
us on the message board!
