Hi.

I replied to you this morning. Did the message not arrive? If not, your

you did a fantastic job!!

I hope you don't discard the design. If you have a few other ideas you

Let me publically thank you for doing this work. The website needs
updating and it is clear that web design is not my strong suit ...
