HOME PAGE
Page Originated on 3/3/2000.
Please excuse any dead links.  Trying to keep only active links on a page like this is an impossibility.  Links change all the time and that is not within any webmaster's control.  All I can do is try go through all links periodically to see which ones are still active.  If they're not, I try to see if the page has moved and update this page either adding the new link or deleting the old one.  There are MANY links on this page, so this job is extremely time consuming.  It is going to be a rare occasion that I get to do this .  (I work a full time job and have two kids - Need I say more??  I hardly get time to stamp, much less maintain this page!)
