Robyn's World
A portal to all Robyn-related items on the Internet. This page features
information and links about my work, hobbies, and medical life.
Work
Although I am a technical writer by profession, I enjoy
working with non-profit groups. At present, most of my non-profit
experience comes from working with community theatre groups, most
notably the Nashua Theatre Guild. My work range includes database
administrator documentation, training and documentation for "normal"
users, marketing communications, and theatre programs, posters, and ads.
Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking is my creative, crafty pasttime. I made our wedding
album, and I have several decades of photos in albums. Of course, I
always have more to do. I am beginning a business creating
original adoption scrapbooks. Meant to Be: Adoption Profiles,
Lifebooks, & More should be online by September 2007.

Family & Genealogy
My aunt Carol started me on Family Tree Maker in 1999 at
my cousin Kristen's wedding. Since then, I've dabbled here and there in
genealogy. Some of the family tree information is posted online. This
all became worthwhile when I was contacted by the wife of my father's
cousin "the other Robert Nace" and we found several relatives who had
been lost to us.
- Descendants
of Johann Caspar Dumm: My Family Tree Maker GEDCOM file at
GenCircles, a wonderful site that matches families. This is my old
file, before I split off into just those individuals related to me.

I find with others.

Sappy But Satisfying
My cousin Mike sent me this, and I just like it.
- There are at least two people in this world that you would die
for.
- At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
- The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want
to be just like you.
- A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they
don't like you.
- Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
- You mean the world to someone.
- You are special and unique.
- Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
- When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from
it.
- When you think the world has turned its back on you take another
look.
- Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the
rude remarks.
