I have been asked if it is okay to use the "Chat" room at other times.  Yes, it is fine to use it...
by all means, as long as it is available for the family sessions on Sunday evenings from Nine
until Ten Eastern time.  Have fun with it!!! - BobF

Family...This "Chat" was set up to be a safe and (hopefully) secure place where we could get
together and have fun getting to know each other better.  As we get better at this, the "Chats"
should be even more fun. Thanks for the support and kind words from those who do enjoy it
and use it. It has been fun.

       March 17th, 2000 (Commentary on March 8th through March 12th)

Our weekend bash is over, and we will NEVER forget it!  I think all of us were on
an emotional roller coaster for the past 4 days or so. It was a fun, fun, fun time!
Thank you, Kites for your enthusiasm, and willingness to make this happen. I know
aunt Rosemary had a wonderful time here, and I'm sure that everyone involved
was moved at one time or another by a word, a gesture, a hug, or a smile.

I remember that Aline said that "A breath of fresh air has come into our lives
with this gathering!"  Also, I did want to give aunt Rosemary the birthday
sentiment that my kids are well acquainted with:

"Aunt Rosemary, Thanks for being born!"

To anyone that we did not get a chance to personally say "Goodbye" to, forgive us.

    SUNG TO THE TUNE  "NOW I’M A BELIEVER"
 
 

We thought the Kites were only real in fairy tales
The ones that mom would tell us late at night
We really don’t have cousins
All the way out west
We thought it was a story told in jest

But they’re all here
And now we’re believers
They exist, not just in mom’s mind
‘cause they’re here,
oooooh they’re in Jackson, and they’re askin’ for a good time

Mom had 12 of us and so did Rosie Kite
Mom had 7 girls and Rose had 8
Patty was the first one
to finally see the light
And came to Jackson for more than one night

Now they’re all here
And we’re believers
They exist, not just in mom’s mind
‘cause they’re here,
oooooh they’re in Jackson, and they’re askin’ for a good time

Musical Interlude… WAIT

The party now is rockin’
As we knew it would
All because our singing is so good

And they’re all here
now we’re believers
They exist, not just in mom’s mind
‘cause they’re here,
oooooh they’re in Jackson, and they’re askin’ for a good time

We are believers
