Connecting the Tarvid Family and Friends

After a long period of neglect, I have converted to Drupal 6.  Pictures especially welcome. News and events too. Membership is moderated. Use the contact button to get my attention. This is an update using ScribeFire.

Marjorie passed away Sunday, February 10th, at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina.

She died after a long struggle with osteoporosis - seven vertebrae repairs, a pelvic fracture, fracture of the humerus (upper arm), a femoral head fracture and a second femoral shaft fracture where the hip replacement joined the femur.

From a trip Marjorie and Sarah made down the Blue Ridge Parkway not long after Marj moved to Virginia,

Installed the Drupal Module "family" tonight. It may grow up to be something but right now the version I installed lacks the links to Father, Mother and Children that would make it useful. The demo site http://famhist.shawspace.com/ suggests they work.
