			Partners in publishing - and in life Larry Craig says he and his wife Karen fell in love the moment they set eyes on each other. Soon after they married, they decided to share their happiness with a six-year-old foster son. A scant year later, Larry was diagnosed as Dystonic. Knowing what the future held, Larry offered to release Karen from her vows, but her commitment to the man and to the marriage was rock-steady. Larry calls his wife home port, "the island in the stormy seas I sail." In the years they've sailed together, the Craigs' joint commitment to using technology to serve the communities they belong to has grown strong. Publisher 97 helped Larry create and maintain an Internet community of Dystonics and their families around the world. Closer to home, Karen and Larry Craig use Publisher 97 to edit and produce a monthly newsletter for Montreal's foster families, a matter of 700 hard copies twelve times a year. The Craigs are pleased with how professional the results look, and how easily they're obtained. "We use the newsletter wizard," Larry says. "I do the set up, both English and French, then Karen types it in." They work together to select the graphics, trying to be seasonal but nondenominational. The Newsletter, Larry notes, "goes to homes of many different faiths."
