Re: Internet for Senior Citizens

["C. Hoff" <Cwahoff@AOL.COM>]

I do a site of the week in my classes, and I've listed some of the ones I've
especially liked, in addition to the first two for widows and for seniors.
Hope this helps!

http://www.fortnet.org/WidowNet/ting -----> WidowNet, an information and
self-help resource for, and by, widows and widowers. Topics covered include
grief, bereavement, recovery, and other information helpful to people, of all
ages, religious backgrounds and sexual orientations, who have suffered the
death of a spouse or life partner.

http://www.all-mart.com/senior.htm  --------->  a site with LOADS of senior
links including:  AARP, Grand Times, PN. Homes for the Aging Senior, News
Network,
AgeVenture, News Net, Growing Old, Senior Alliance, Senior School,
Baby Boomers Leisure Village, Senior Com, Seniors Net,
Elder Hostel, MARS Associates ,Senior Friendly Seniors Site,
Elder Services,  and Elder Web
