After writing the article in this issue about the Census, I had the following additional thoughts about writing our Prentice Newsletter.
Newsletter Thoughts We're sending our Newsletter throughout all through the land, each article finished with a caption we've planned. We mined from our data each name and each birth, and some deaths and some places, of those there's no dearth. T'was a long, lonely search with many a lead that, often we found, it was fruitful to heed. At times were tired, and sat back in the chair and gave a great yawn and out the window we'd stare. Sometimes we'd nod off or go get a drink, or lie down on the couch, the better to think. we studied our charts as we sat at the table, and traced all their children the best we were able. We found those who died old and pondered their fate, and of those that died young we searched for a date. Some lived to a hundred, but that's only a few, all too often we found those who died at age two. We'd think of those infants, and think of their beirs. we'd think of their mothers and picture their tears. When all articles were finished and the indexes set, we'd upload all the issues to Scott's PrenticeNet. As we turn off the computer, we silently pray for more email and more strength to begin the next day.If you have any thoughts about the feelings expressed in this article, please contact us at dewald@prenticenet.com.
