Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Knoxville Ghost Tour

Apparently, there was some confusion in my message last night about our

idea of having a "ghost stories" walking tour on Friday night during the

weekend that we're all in Knoxville for the ETHS conference.

Please note that this was NOT in any way designed to conflict with the

conference, nor was it anything sanctioned by ETHS.

To alleviate any potential issues, I've decided it's best to withdraw this

option.

If you're still jazzed up after Dr. Schweitzer finishes speaking and don't

want to go straight to bed, you might find several of us hanging out at

Fairbank's Roasting Room, which is diagonally across from the East TN

Historical Center (corner of Market and Clinch). They have a "full dinner

menu" (that's supper for us country folks <g>), and they offer a variety of

coffees and desserts until midnight on Friday. Also, they have usually

have special music, such as swing dancing on Friday nights.

Not only that, they have a great lunch menu....

>*** Variant of Love Bug virus spreading

>NEW YORK (AP) - A variant of the "Love Bug" computer virus has

>spread as fast as the original, it is much more destructive when it

>infects a computer. Computers at several large companies were

Morning y'all... ;-)

Now, before I begin, *please* understand that I'm not a paid/unpaid

spokesperson (or owner) for classmates.com <g>.

Having said that <g>, I've found several childhood friends using that

service (I think it's $25 for a 2-year membership). Once you're registered,

your name (maiden) will be displayed under your senior class (Class of '59,

etc) for your particular school. You can also check out other schools if

you had a friend in a rival high school <g>.

Here's list of Knoxville high schools listed on Classmates.com (from my

understanding, once someone from a particular school registers with the

service, that school's name will be displayed in the roster)....
