11/14/2001 Optimized all pages with HTML Tidy.

11/24/2001 Corrected broken links to charts on My Tourbook page (somehow, some extra spaces had crept into the link, causing it to choke on the longitude and throwing the charts into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean). Still working on why charts are no longer opening a new resource window.

06/27/2002 Corrected a couple of broken links in the State Government table.

10/18/2002 Corrected the webring problem that had existed since last winter when AOL was having, er, "issues" with their servers.

11/1/2001 Added this summer's trip to Baltimore to the site, with pictures of Baltimore and Georgetown, Md. Finally got a picture of our boat on plane on the site (not that it's all that important, but I like it).

7/6/2005 Revised guestbook script in prepartion for bringing new website live.

5/6/2007 Disabled guestbood because of the amount of guestbook spam. Gave up on webring. Removed "In Memoriam" as something whose time had passed.
