| The website building program I used 20 years ago to build this site and maintain it is no longer being supported after the end of March, 2021. This site has hundreds of pages and thousands of images and to rebuild it in a new platform would take me forever. So it is going to remain as it is until I finally decide to pull the plug on it. |
