MEL'S
Travels 2000
MEL & Stormie re-visit the LSU Research Station in Rosepine for the
Cattlemens Fair Day. Paul Morris, County Agent for Sabine Parish was the
special guest on MEL. Paul seated at the computer is showing George Hauser
some Web Sites of interest to cattlemen. You may e-mail Paul at:
E-mail:pmorris@agctr.lsu.edu or visit some of his Sites of Interest

|
| 
Paul is getting ready to show Don Franke, from Baton Rouge, the
use of the Internet for Cattlemen.
|
| 
April 15th, MEL & Stormie return to KR Hanchy's Spring Carnival.
Courtny enjoys learning how to use a laptop.
|
| 
Mack also enjoys the day of fun and games and playing with
the laptops on MEL.
|
| 
Not only did the children enjoy the computers, but many adults
had their turn also. Here at a laptop is Thomas Green, with
Metroplitan Ambulance Service.
|
| 
As Thomas sits and thinks about his next move, Rick Ross
with DeRidder City Police Department watches to see if the
computer will beat Thomas or if Thomas will beat the computer.
| 
MEL attends the Kids Safety Fair on June 17th at the VFW. The program was
put togather by PJ Crowe, (pictured here) and demonstrations on Safety on
the Internet, Drug Awareness, Electricity Safety, Fire Safety and more was
available for the children.
| 
Along with many others at the Kids Safety Fair was Rick Barnickel
from KVVP - Counrty 105 / KROK FM - 92.1 the Wave. Rick takes
the tour of MEL to see what all the kids are excited over. He soon
learns the Internet is just a step inside.
| 
Stormie steps over to take a look at the radio van, here with Rick she
also meets Jim Kay, the News Director.
| We would like to thank PJ for asking us to join in on the fun and hope she remembers us next year. 
MEL is off to Dry Creek again. Our first camp starts off with the
girls GA Camp. Here is Tabatha, back again learning to e-mail
missionaries.
| 
Here Vicki Reeves helps the girls find a address on the computer.
| 
Amber shares with Stormie her enjoyment being at camp and on MEL.
| 
As the camp comes to a end, the girls line up for the last picture before
going home.
| 
Beauregard Parish Fair "2000", starts off with the annual parade through
town. Here Mike, Shane, John & Tory patiently wait for the parade to
start.
| 
Stormie & Chuck get MEL settled in at the fair grounds. Here
Mike Barrett has logged on and getting ready to surf.
If you click on small picture you will see he really is getting ready to
surf.
| 
Alyssa Barrett, Shane & Tory Lavergne would rather be on MEL playing on
the laptops then
riding rides.
| 
Alyssa saying, " Not another picture, can't you see I'm trying to surf
here". Shane, just smile then she will go away. Tory, she's lucky, she has
gotten one of me already.
| 
Edwin Barrett sits down with son Anthoney, oh boy Dad lets go to the
Veggie Tails,
wait son I need to check my e-mail.
| 
At fair time, MEL is not just for the kids; the adults enjoy him as well.
Here we have Mike Barrett (sitting), Roger Sterling and John Morris.
| 
John helps a child with some computer questions. Mike is still busy
surfing and Roger still smiling for the camera.
| 
Stormie takes one last picture from MEL as the Beauregard Parish Fair 2000
comes to a end. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again next
year. Thank you to all who helped with MEL & Stormie.
