Message from Dr. Robert I.
Winer, President
Sometimes a seemingly chance event, drives
one into something new. As I was preparing an e-mail of an unveiling
ceremony that I had compiled for the dedication of my father's
gravestone, I was frustrated about the file size being too big
to send (took around 20 minutes to upload). I thought this would
never happen with a webpage because they've been designed to
contain pictures and text in a compact file format. Then I had
the idea, why not post the unveiling ceremony on the Winer foundation
website and that way, they could more quickly upload it.
However as pondered this, I sensed that
I'd never really thought about having a place where my family
and extended family could post material about themselves for
the family's enjoyment. This idea, combined with the fact that
I had been working on my father's unveiling ceremony, made it
clear that not only would this make access to the ceremony easier,
but it would provide a lasting tribute to my father, who I deeply
loved.
With this in mind, I encourage all of my
family to use this section of the website to let each other,
and the world too, know more about us -- what we're like, what
we like, what we love, what makes us tick.
