For old-timers on the misc.kids newsgroups...Dena Rollo passed away this
last weekend. She was a regular poster from about 1992 to 1996. She died of leukemia. She is survived by her husband Michael, and her daughter, Isabel, age 13. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky http://www.bicyclemeditations.org/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

I was wondering if the folks from that period would be here. I was here from about 1988 to about 1994. Thank you for passing on the sad news. How old are your kids now? My daughters are 17 and 14.

Hi Claire,
Thanks for passing this on. I remember Dena very well. I was a regular poster from 1992 - 1998, I was "The Only Anne" to Shannon. Like Tom, I checked the group for the first time in years today. Dena will be in my prayers. Anne Robotti (Still "The Only Anne" to Shannon, now 17 (!) also Mom now to Brooke (9), Charlie (7), Victoria (4) and Grace (2) |

I too remember Dena well. I was saddened to hear of her passing. How
hard that must be for her family. Anne Robotti (Still "The Only Anne" to Shannon, now 17 (!) also Mom now to Brooke (9), Charlie (7), Victoria (4) and Grace (2) Wow, Anne! I was also a regular poster in the mid-90's, probably around 1993-1997 or so. I'm now mom to 3 boys, ages 5, 10 and 12. There were only 2 in my misc.kids days. ;-) --Robyn |

oups.com... Me too. I hope someone is in touch with her husband and can point him to the google search engine -- her posts are so full of her love for her kids and her wit. It would be a neat thing to print/archive them for her family to read at some point. A group of us has already done this -- put together a book of posts that she made -- for Isabel. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky http://www.bicyclemeditations.org/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

For some reason I had a second daughter in my head but I see in my photoalbums that Isabel was an only. I remember now, I think, discussing onlies with her. If you, or for that matter, anyone else, has email correspondence that you'd like to share for the project, please email it to me and I'll forward it to the people working on this. Oh what the heck, I'll include this link, too: http://www.active.com/donate/cpetersky06, even though the event ended a while back. Dena wrote that her best hope was research -- it's too bad she didn't live long enough to see that through. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky http://www.bicyclemeditations.org/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

I'm sorry Dawn, Henry is NOT 13. Isn't he 5? Wasn't it just yesterday
that we talked about him going to Kindergarten? You are so confused! Anne |

Hi Robyn!
Yup, those were the days, weren't they? I feel like I have a lot more kids when I have to start typing their names and ages out. People are always like, "Get a TV!" I remember one thread we all shared with Dena, or at least I think it was Dena. Everybody in Isabelle's class had been invited to a birthday party except Isabelle. I remember reading the post in tears. We all cared so much about each other back then, in that group. Every once in a while I still think of Roger Hunt, or Julia, or Naomi Pardue and wonder what happened to them. Anne |
