"When I think of Grandma Tano...I remember..."

I just recalled a conversation I had with Aunty Marge, during which I talked about ways our children and cousins can get to know our grandparents. With today's technology we have a variety of ways that we can keep in touch with family members, keep dairies or journals, preserve images and videos, etc... So, I was thinking that when you have time. I'd like you to write something that you remember about Grandma Tano or even Grandpa Tano too. You should also check out my new site that is still under construction, but always being updated.

BYU Family Research Technology Conference

Today I met with Uncle Tony and Aunty Marge and we all went to a technology fair at Brigham Young University. This is a 4 day conference where the first day was for the "super" geeks, the second day was for the "regular" geeks, and day 3 and 4 was for the "mini" geeks. Aunty Marge said, "... oh, yeah that's us the "mini" geeks..." So, I figured that I join them since I didn't have any classes. I'm taking a family history class and so the software programs and presentations so far have been really cool. I'm already followed along with the presentors and made a Blog page and Google Group for the Tano Family. It's pretty cool you should check it out and subscribe. Aunty Marge also said, "We're getting old, the younger generation needs to be learning this stuff. It's fun to work in the Family History Library...everyone was white hair, and when they use the computer their hands keeps shaking the mouse and too hard to click the mouse button.... hehe."
