Computer Students Graduate

Congratulations to the sixteen students who completed the Never-Too-Late computer course at Wood Library. Some of the students are shown at the left with their instructor Louise Smith. Students graduated on June 17th and June 19th. The very popular six-week course is held each spring and fall, and is sponsored by Wood Library and the Ontario County Office for the Aging with funding from the New York State Office for the Aging. The course covers how to use the mouse and keyboard all the way up to searching for information on the Internet and doing email. The class is designed to build on the skills learned the previous week. Adult Services Librarian Barbara Henry says the whole idea of the course is to help seniors feel comfortable and confident on the computer and to give them skills they can keep on using long after the course is finished. The graduates are: Richard Appel, Norma Bay, Walter Fahnestock, Carol Gruschow, Aileen Pellow, Skippy Raines, Charlene Searles, Shirley Stephens, Carolyn Ticknor, Ronald Ticknor, Marcia Tillson, Hiram Tindall, Dee Wallace, Wally Wallace, Lucy Windsor, and Robert Windsor. Helen Sherman, Director of the Ontario County Office for the Aging, congratulated the graduates in a pre-taped video message. Watch it here.
