However so true Tom. Currently I'm not working permanently as of yet. I

hope so soon with what I have been doing to obtain it. I have successfully

completed computer training where last Winter I had a difficult time doing so

with having back problems for a while. I have volunteered my time at a

nursing home. I visit the residents there, especially one particular lady

there who I grown quite fond of and is a dear friend of mine. I'm not in

charge of her, but I have alerted staff there when things aren't being taken

care as far as she is concerned. I also have volunteered at two nonprofit

agencies helping them with office and marketing work. I'm very active both

by writing and by voice as far as issues, concerns that I have. I was

interviewed and have received recognition for my being of short stature. I

take pretty good care of myself, my cat Jade, where I live, my car.

Fred,

I think you have a great idea to create a Millennium list! Perhaps when it

is finished, it can be compiled and posted on a web site without

identifying names associated with it.

For your employment list:

Ellen Fernandez- Webmaster for sburg Exponent-Telegram newspapers.

You might also want to include a list of educational achievements (there

may be those who have degrees but chose to be employed as homemakers....)

and/or a list of kid achievements (under 18 or what-ever cut-off age you

want) for parents who are unsure of what activities (sports, music,

academics...) their children can participate and excel in.

If you start an educational list, I'll offer my name - though today the

true mark of a successful MBAer is to quit just before graduating to start

their own multi-million dollar business. I got my Masters in Business

Administration degree in the '80's. At the time, I was one of only a few

female dwarves to do so and remember helping with workshops to encourage

dwarf teens to attend college and broaden their career choices. Today,

most dwarf teens (and their parents) accept college as a viable option for

them and no longer regard their lives as severely limited in career

choices. We have really made progress in that area!

Good luck with your lists.

Well here's my 2 cents worth and when I finally decide what I want to be

when I grow up, we'll all celebrate. I'm a certified teacher of music,

speech and drama, I substitute though.

I also am a professional actress, singer (coming off 3 concerts), a public

historian and archivist. I also am a genealogist, tracing ones roots to the

past. Last but not least, I do stunt work for children in television, stage

and movies. Whew

And my newest hobby, his name is Gerry.

Thank you Ellen.

Well, it's a good idea, and I know there are a lot of us who do have

degrees etc.

However, the initial idea was just a sort of roll call to show the world

the contribution we make to it's wellbeing.

So, for starters, I'm trying to keep it to the sort of thing as " Name, rank

and number " type list.

If we start adding C.V's and resumes we might end up with a book entitled

" How Great we are " :-)

Maybe not such a bad idea:-)))

Cheers

and what of those schooling successes to be? success is not completely

limited to the employment status just a suggestion. Im a junior in High

School already accepted to several architectural and design colleges. perhaps a

" future " list at the end, such as Future Architect

Does a grade in a single class count as an accomplishment? I just got a B in

introductory statistics and worked my behind off to get it! I am very very

happy right now...:-)
