OK here’s the deal. I finally decided to try creating a web page, mostly for a place to put pics for my family and such. Yeah I know–welcome to the 80’s. Right now I’ve really only got the address & the template but the big news is I finally got the courage to post a pic of myself. In my best Annie Lennox Diva-like pose, here I am. See sig. ---
