Family.org Gets a Make Over!
This
is the final post to the old web site. We've embraced blog
technology and will no longer be updating the old Brooks Family
site. The old site will stay on our server as archives. The site
began in 1998 and now includes everything outside the wordpress blog.
It contains 1,591 files, 1,295 pictures, and 2,324 hyperlinks.
Nearly nine years of web posts will continue to be accessible
through these pages.

Trip
to Montana - Funerals, Family, and Fun
Sorry
it has taken me so long to post this. If you'd like a copy of any of
the photos took - remember there are 250 of them - I can email
full-size ones or CDs. April 4 - 8 was spent in Montana attending
the funeral of my paternal grandmother, visiting relatives, and some
fun.
