My one cent




  Yah, yah, it's totally not because I grew up there, but... the Oxford
Orphanage was incorporated by the Masonic Fraternity after the Civil War
and has seen 125+ years of change and thousands of children.

  It's now 'the Masonic Home for Children' but across the state it's still
Oxford Orphanage.  I was thinking of a virtual tour, a section not only on
the history of the place but how it has evolved through several eras
(their farm and their transition from an orphan island into an integrated
part of the Oxford community, and its not-so-good transition from a mostly
segregated history to a legacy segregated institution).  Interviews with
current students and alumni, and an interactive section allowing alumni to
list themselves a la whowhere.com so those with E-mail can keep in touch
or find one another.  dumb?  any takers?
