Phil Karras keeps our computers and other equipment humming, a job he's been doing for more than 20 years. Phil bought his first computer in 1983. A year later, his wife Beckie asked him to teach her how to use it in order to write a book. In 1985, on a borrowed daisy wheel printer, the first copy of Down Memory Lane was printed, and that was the birth of ElderSong Publications.
