The veterans home plans to expand the program in the future to include more computers and more space in the library. I've been having a lot of fun like that with it. McCurry's family has a Web site where they post major events in their life, which she prints and keeps in a scrapbook. I've learned about sporting events, art shows. I wouldn't otherwise be able to go.
Volunteers teach some of the uninitiated veterans home members how to get on the Web.
Volunteer Virginia Good said the time spent on the Internet is good for the morale of the residents. Computer skills are not that difficult to learn, so this is a great program, I think. Often one volunteer and one resident will work together on a regular basis. Darletta Broadway and Art Eschliman are a fine example. The two use the Internet to follow current events and to access information about books they read.
