    This site is going under renovation so there's not a great deal of information at the moment.  I will post as much information as space will allow.  I would eventually like to make everything I have available on-line.  The organization of this site will probably change considerably with each visit until I settle on a standard format.  Please bear with me.

    This site will be updated in tandem with my Howdyshell Newsletter available free via e-mail.  All information posted at this site will also be sent out in the newsletter but some data will remain on this site as regular features and updated regularly.  Any information that must be removed from this site will be referenced and available via e-mail (or snail mail if necessary).

  Please feel free to e-mail me for any reason even if only to say 'Hi!'.
