Disclaimer

I have had no technical training, and I am not computer technician. 

What I am and have been since 1980 is a prolific computer user devoted to learning and being faithful to the best practices that work.  Because of my nature, knowledge, and profession (public school teacher/principal), I have often assisted others struggling with computer problems.

And since retiring in 2002, I have only used windows: almost exclusively windows XP until in 2011 I replaced my laptop while on the road for an extended period (in Alaska) and within 60 days of returning home I replaced my primary computer: both Dells with Windows 7.

 

 

 

 help  for computer and internet newcomers

I have discovered that many of those with whom I had hoped to reach using my various websites, particularly of those of my own generation, have little or no experience using computers, the Internet, and the world wide web.

If you are not computer savvy,  join the crowd.   To learn a more about links, PDF files, and more, place the cursor over the word "coach" and left click on the mouse. (The cursor is that on-screen object that moves with the mouse and usually looks like an arrow, capital "I" or a hand with a pointing finger.)

 

If you decide to print or save a topic, then use the PDF version if available.

They usually appear with the one of the icons shown here:   or

Descendants of my fraternal great-grandfather were active members of the Spring Green Primitive Baptist Church.  Now his descendants, including us, are active among the other preservationist seeking to restore the now vacant Spring Green Primitive Baptist Church.  It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

My great-grandfather was William Grimes II (1813-1902).  His descendants have an annual reunion in Martin County on the 4th Sunday of June at the Ruritan club building in Everetts, NC.

We listed our Wilmington, NC home for sale on June 1, 2007.  I created a website to show the home and announced it the as most detailed residential property listing in the zip code. Happily the site was helpful in selling our home.

Planned to be temporary, the contents of the former  www.3305raynor.com   view/buy our  home   is now at www.demo.grimestech.com. 

It has been suggested that it might generate interest and income.


In December 2009 I began to develop grimestech.com.


"Grimes easy" to find  at grimeseasy.com and mirror site grimesez.com  Purpose While it has become other things, the original purpose of the website was to publish our current contact information.  And hopefully, other lost contacts among dear friends and cohorts of the past 48 years and students and  40 moves , will find us here and get in touch with us. We've moved about forty times.  It's our own world-wide connection: some news, pictures, archives, and more.
