My Poetry

And I was (Re)Connected!

I came back home in June of '95 to care for an elderly parent. Moved into the basement of our family home of forty years.      And I was reconnected with my roots. I started my PS/1 386, 66mhz and plugged it into the phone line. Suddenly, I was viewing the card catelog in the Joe Herndon Library a mile away.      And I was reconnected with my community. A Beta tester for the Kansas City Star, as they moved a paper to the Internet. Customer Service and Sysop for One Crossroads Place BBS of Independence.      And I was reconnected with my region. I accessed via Prodegy, StarNet and OCP I viewed through Netscape, Mosaic, Spyglass. I moved slowly at first, 2400 bps, 9600 bps and 14,400bps!      And I was connected to my country and the world.
