Building the Web Site

 

My son Joshua and I built this web site after I retired from Eastman Kodak on February 1st, 2001. It took five months to scan, establish word documents, edit, convert those documents to web pages, photograph paintings, and learn how to “link” stuff together using Dream Weaver software to complete the site. During this lengthy process Joshua frequently had to say, “Well Dad, you only have to do this once and it’s done”, and he was right BUT it was a long, slow and very tedious process. Suffice it to say I’m glad it done, and the on-going section (Into Another Light) is available, and updated as I add to it.
