My apologies to visitors to this site in mid-January. An attempt to use a free e-mail server resulted in my home page being hijacked by a server called 'Roundclube'. Unfortunately, I was away when it happened, so it took a while to resolve the problem. If you are returning here, you'll see that it has expanded - and I hope improved! This site is usually updated during the first weekend of the month (LAST UPDATE - 9/2/25).
