Well J-, what can I say? I am never totally spesriurd at what you attempt to do, because I know how supremly gifted you are; but I am always so pleased and proud when I see the results. J-, the website is simply fantastic! And yes, like Sam, I can hardly wait to see and read more. I know that this comment will be read by others whom I will never know and that concerns me somewhat because I hope they do not mind my being a little over the top at stating how pleased I am about your work. Perhaps I can be forgiven for simply being an extemely proud Pappa of a wonderfully talented daughter who is just the second most loved librarian in my life (after her Mom, of course). So I guess growing up in the woods in northeast Texas was not so bad after all. Truck on J- or should I say reel on. See ya!
