Thanks for your feedback. And I also say thanks to all of those responsible for this site-the Vets and their families who have shared their memories, their pictures and their encouragement.
This site has been a lot of work, but I have enjoyed creating it and learning in the process. In the 3 weeks it has been up it has more than tripled in size. Also, thanks to my friend Brian Dering, it is starting to to look good in the process. He's been pushing and prodding me with hints of "you might want to try..." and giving me hints on how to do it...
Thanks again for your comments.
