"I wish to give special thanks to several people. First up is Elizabeth's Web from the San Francisco Bay Area who has done a marvelous job of desiging this terrific new web site. She worked with me for days in the design of it and put in some "tricks" of her own. Without her dedication, there would be no site. I encourage any of you who want a good looking site to promote your business or personal site to go to her to the job. None better.
