My
personal web site is courtesy of
"BendBroadband" located in the city
of Bend in Central Oregon, USA. My name is Sydney Scott Reekie and
my email address is, sbr@bendcable.com
For the retired, a personal web site is a great alternative to
sitting in an armchair in the idle moments and watching mundane TV
programs. A personal web site
is a great memory jogger and it provides a place to jot down any
and everything that all of a sudden you remember which you may
keep in your "private diary" or otherwise. As Google picks
up on you, messages come in from all parts of the world from long
forgotten friends and acquaintances that are now scattered around
the globe. In addition to old friends you will be contacted by
others who will wish to have you as a friend. You will never meet
these cyber friends in person but it's illuminating to know that someone in
Timbuktu knows that you exist and wishes to know you and tell
you something of their lives. It's like ham radio as in the days
of old all over again only now with pin-point
accuracy. Like an active lighthouse let your
light sweep the ether.
School
teacher daughter,
Heather, a.k.a. Mrs. Renz is my webmaster (with a
difference) and
although she's got me pretty well whipped into
shape, without
her technical know-how and expertise this web site
would not exist. Heather doesn't do things for me.
The teacher in her leads me down paths of discovery
that lead to self independence. Visit Heather's awesome scholastic
web
site.
My good
friend Alberto a.k.a. Albert Lawrie kindly sends me
photos of Earlsferry and the East Neuk of Fife in
Scotland and as the occasion merits I'll add them to
my pages. Visit Alberto's
Hutte and read about the Earlsferry region and
Alberto's daily exploits and
escapades. While you are in the Hutte be sure to
enter Alberto's music page and if you don't play any
other piece do listen to the red haired lady as she
sings "Maggie".
Many moons ago
Alberto and Maggie fell in love
with each other, married and have lived happily
ever after in Ivy Cottage, Earlsferry.
18th August
2009. It is with great sadness that I pass on
the news from Albert's Hutte web site that during
last night Maggie died suddenly. I remember the day
when Maggie was born.
!st
November 2009. In memory of Maggie, Albert is having
a bench seat made for passersby to rest while they
contemplate the grandeur of the scene before them;
the Earlsferry and the Elie
beaches, the Elie Harbour, the Lighthouse, the
Lady's Tower, the May Island, the Bass Rock and the
southern shoreline of the Firth of Forth. Albert
will place the bench
seat near the Chapel.
