Hello Michael, Thank you for the great review! : ) I do have to clear a
thing or two up, you wrote;

Even though Portales Valley has to be my all time favorite meteorite, I do
not own any, and the way things are going, probably never will. The best I
could do was to put a link to Robert Woolard's Portales Valley site and that
is where you were. Robert was kind enough to let me use one of his PV
pictures for my home page and in return I wanted to have a link to his site.
If you look around his site he was some wonderful slices for sale and prices
clearly listed. : ) You also wrote;

I figured I would be in my site more than anyone ( I love it ) and I have a
333 AMD processor and a 56k modem and an even slower ISP, opening new pages,
for me, is a time consuming proposition, and with time being money.......

"4) On the "Contact Me" link, there were link "click-to" buttons that had no
function. The email address, itself, was the click-to - and, of course, the
phone number and snail mail address have no click-to aspect. You might
consider removing the click-to buttons on that page"

We put the buttons on just for uniformity, we wanted all the pages to look
similar, it looked funny with out them ; ) You also wrote;

That there is a great idea!!!!! My daughter made the PV image a few weeks
ago, but she had designed the description cards for me months ago, but an
image change could be coming soon! : ) You also wrote;

The one link to NAFA (north American falconers association) they do give an
over view under the "about Falconry" page. I will be adding more links in
the near future. : )

Thanks for you input Michael, it is greatly appreciated! : )

Thanks, Tom
