But not much info on Gord's family as far as I remember (of course I could be wrong)I would instead say this to our new friends

Jeff and Jennifer.Oops
I damn nearly wrote Jenn and Jeffifer!!
As newcomers you must realise that most questions about Gord have quite likely already been asked and snswered in this forum and all you need to do is find the topic containing the answer. How??

well there are two prime ways to search for info like this on Gord in these forums
1.Google will work because as this site is indexed by google in theory at least every posting in these forums is covered by a google search, so after a few days any new posting should turn up as a result in a google
example search for
"Greetings from Illinois"
brings up 291 results .If you then search within those results for "corfid"
you will get just two results being:-
1 http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=1
Jennifer's entire first topic which of course had that very title
and
2.http://www.corfid.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ul...i?ubb=pntf;f=1
a listing headed :-
"In the past 10 minutes, 3 people have visited General Discussion:"
which includes in a table at this moment
"3 most popular topics within the past 10 minutes:"
one of which, because I just looked at it twice, was:-
Greetings from Illinois 1 Jennifer July 19, 2006 20:57 32
2. corfid's own search engine linked at the top of most pages
(However I sometimes find that this will fail to find any result for a certain word or expression that I know is here in a topic somewhere because I wrote it myself, do not ask me why that should be so it is beyond me to understand
in this case a thread earlier this year will provide all the answers you seek:-
Topic: Gord's eldest children at:-
http://www.corfid.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ul...c;f=1;t=000575
(I cheated a bit as I knew/remembered that Gord's son Galen was mentioned so I simply searched corfid for "Galen" and Bob's your uncle so to speak!
John Fowles
I hope that helps.
One further suggestion.if you still have questions reply to that topic and ask.
that topic then gets put at the top of the list
(I could have replied myself to Topic: Gord's eldest children
but thought it better that one of you should try it to prove to yourself that it works)
