Hello everyone,
As I am writing this on Christmas Day 2018, I believe the best gift that I, as well as other fans of the website, could receive has been the restoration of the original URL. It was not at all as complicated to restore as I thought it would be... all that was required was some verifications on the Weebly program, which could only be accessible with a desktop computer which, as everyone knows by now, has been a problem for me.
The restoration of the site, the bulk of which rests with making the fonts easier to read, is a work in progress. I am hoping to have the bulk of this done by New Year's of 2019. I received an award from the Discover Downriver publication as a Hometown Hero for the efforts we have put into this site, so I am trying to rush the restoration through. For example, I will be spending much of Christmas Day ensuring the links all work.
The next focus after the restoration will be on what to do with the photo library, which currently handles over 2,800 photos. As it stands right now, they will be up until April of 2019 if nothing is done sooner. The preparations for future storage have to be made before that time, as all but 100 photos will be lopped off if I cannot renew that particular account. A changeover will likely not happen before March of next year, so right now I do have time to mull over my options.
If anyone has any suggestions as to a possible free hosting site for a book amount of photos, please message me through the contact page of this site.
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season as well as the new year to come!
Cordially,
KEVIN HARRISON, webmaster
