I am very pleased to report that OurEcho has been selected as one of Writer’s Digest 101 Best Websites for 2007. I am particularly pleased because I think it expresses what I have always known - OurEcho is just lines of code, it’s the people that contribute to it that make it special. It seems others agree with me. Scott October's new members I found two new writers this past month, Martin Steele and Terrance C. Newby. Read their posts and let them know we are glad they have joined us. Spotlight writers needed 10-25-2008 Still need writers for the spotlight! Write more about you and your writing.

Donald L. Jones
 Born in McMinnville, Tennessee at the end of World War II. At that time, McMinnville was a small middle Tennessee town that had the distinction for being the hardwood capital of the world. That was true till the lumber companies cut all the major hardwood trees down. Now it is the nursery capital of the US. Like most small towns in America, it has its share of small factories, as well as a few sawmills and malls. McMinnville is located in the rolling hills which lead to the Smokey Mountains to the East.

Special Projects
I'm not sure where I am on special projects these days, but in the interim, I thought I would post something different. I was recently thinking about the things I really like about the internet. There are many, but YouTube is at the top of my list. Rarely is there something I can't find there. So, over the next few weeks, I'll post a few clips I've enjoyed recently (select the > in the picture and make sure your volume is turned up): I think most guys can identify with this one...I think the title of this one is "Why men die young"
Nancy, I, too, remember having my tonsils out when I was 4 or 5. It seemed like the thing to do way back then. Nowadays you don't hear of it as much. Perhaps the medical world has learned to deal with inflamed tonsils in other ways by now, although my son had his out over 30 years too. I enjoyed this story and how the nurse inspired you to a career of service to others, which continues to this day in other ways. One person can really make a difference to someone, can't they? ~Maria Harden Mario I grew up listening to Mario Lanza as my parents had his recordings. I especially loved him in "The Student Prince" and have fond memories of watching that film over and over. He was a star. His music was what actually led me to loving other classical and operatic music, and to this day it is my favorite genre to listen to. Thanks for this interesting post, Wanda. ~Maria Harden The Perks of Being 92 Dear J.W. ~ I loved reading about your memories of times past and know you have an entire storehouse more. Please share again because it's interesting for all of us to read about things you recall over these past nine decades. Love to my favorite 92 years old cousin! ~ Susan COLOR ME HAPPY I just re-read your article. I am disturbed by the last part of it in which you think political commentary will breathe new energy and life into Ourecho. I believe the kind of energy and life that Ourecho has is great. It is far from being without life and energy. On the other hand, I also think the kind of commentary you are asking for will do damage to Ourecho. Whenever people begin arguing about politics and religion, they tend to get angry. When they get angry, they say things they shouldn't and there are hard feelings as a result. I think BJ has it right - not to comment on politics or religion. As for the Editors Choices and the Hall of fame, I think from all I've seen, Megles, Meister and Hogle get their fair share. I also think Gail does a fine and unbiased job. Fred BRAVO Mr. Wickert ! K A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH What a great article!!! I can sense the pride you feel for your Rangers , as well you should feel. Thanks, it was very interesting to me. Bertha |
