Greetings from Kate Cotter, a senior citizen, residing at St. Peter
Manor in Memphis, Tennessee. I have been here for six years and find it
a great place to be. Check it out sometime - always plenty of company here
and lots to do. This fits in with my past, having coming from a family
of thirteen children - never a dull moment.
I taught in the parochial school system for 38 years and enjoyed
it very much. Some of the schools I taught in were in Pine Bluff, Arkansas,
three places in Ohio - Dennison, Wolfhurst, and Corning, and in Kentucky
at Fort Thomas and Louisville. During those years I was a member of the
Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky. My last ten years of teaching
were in Memphis - another great place to be.
At the present time I am studying computer and learning to do home
pages, e-mail and many other projects. It has been great fun. We are in
a program established through a grant from the National Science Foundation
directed by Larry Tague of the University of Tennessee. Through this grant,
and also grants from the Assissi Foundation, Plough Foundation, Durham
Foundation and HUD we now have a computer lab with six computers and a
teacher who comes for twenty hours a week . At the present
time we have about 25 seniors in the classes. Five of us
who have advanced enough are now able to teach other beginners.

Genealogy is one of the items on my list of things to do or at least
to add to what has already been done by earlier relatives.
