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.
