CONSTRUCTION ZONE UPDATE   

        If you are a repeat visitor to the site, I am sure you share my frustration at the constant updates to the site.   Ahhh, the pressure of being a part time web master. If I had an entire week, fulltime to devote to the completion of the project, I could accomplish my goals; alas, this site is a part time endeavor, and I am still looking at 25+ rolls of film to cull and scan, and program the necessary HTML code.  I hope to provide a running update to the site, so that your visit may be more enjoyable.
