WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE! I hope you enjoy it, and depending on your interests, find new or at least stimulating information to consider. All links contain numerous (in some cases, very numerous!) high-powered graphics (illustrations). I truly hope you can download and view same, but it is a fact-of-life that many old browsers and many out-of-date systems simply cannot "manage" large graphic downloads - or if they "manage" them - take forever and a day to carry out the download.

HINT: most graphics (on my browser anyway), open with an option if you click way down in the lower right corner, a little icon appears that lets you alternately either ENLARGE the picture or SHRINK the picture. This may help in many cases.

If however, the graphics are a flop, I am truly sorry. All links here are reported as "go" - certainly on my own setup (Windows XP and IE6 to reach the Internet) and take only minimal time to bring up the subject. I am yet a novice at HTML creations and postings: one advice given in my textbook on same, is to "tag" alternate browser options when coding one's data - giving viewers more "chances" to view same on their respective systems.

This I have not done - mainly for lack of skill at this stage, and lack of time for another. If I get enough comments (see Guestbook and/or e-mail link) suggesting this is a problem, I will try to rectify it soonest. The sites are not yet all complete. And even when they eventually are, there will be frequent updates - so come back and check us out now and then!
