I've dug up an old CDROM from 2003 with lots of pictures and some html so I'm including a gallery of my Bridgestone XO-1 and Some old and new clocks. I'll try and fix the family tree next week.

What happened to all the pictures?

This site has been hosted for years by a company called Jatol.com. Jatol apparently went out of business with no notice to their customers and did not give me time to retrieve my files from their server.

I still need to go through my backup disks and see if I can find any of the old web site.

When I first created the old site, with all the family pictures and family tree I was not working, I've since come out of retirement and work full time. It's not as easy as it was to devote time to that project.

This site is now hosted by Godaddy and you will see from the banner on the top that it's a free site, I was paying jatol a bit over $100 for hosting. They owe me money :-(

"I do feel that evolution is being controlled by some sort of divine engineer. I can't help thinking that. And this engineer knows exactly what he or she is doing and why, and where evolution is headed. That's why we've got giraffes and hippopotami and the clap." Kurt Vonnegut.

The bad news: there is no key to the universe.
The good news: it was never locked. Swami Beyondananda

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another which states that this has already happened Douglas Adams

"And he supposed it might not be the best of days. But then, he was flying the mails and was not expected to squat on the ground like a frightened canary every time there was a cloud in the sky. If a pilot showed an obvious preference for flying only in the best conditions he soon found himself looking for work. This was the way of his life and he had always ascended even when others had found excuse to keep their feet on the ground."Ernest Gann
