Dear all, The past several weeks have been very tough for all of us, and personally, between my family being ill and the events of the past 2 weeks, I have not been able to get to things as quickly as I'd like. The text part of the Jonifest 2001 webpage is finally up, and let me tell you, I have a new-found respect for Les and Jim and the time it takes to put this kind of thing together. It literally took me about 20-30 hours to put it in the kind of form needed for the page. Granted, someone that knows what they are doing might have taken less time, but nonetheless, it was a daunting task. The pictures are taking a much longer time. For one thing, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of great pictures to wade through. I am trying to pick out the best of the lot to put up on the website. After those decisions are made, I have to scan them all and put them into a searchable database. Bob Murphy is working hard on the captions, and Les is putting them in a size that works for the site, as well as putting them into the webpage. All these things take time, and I know it is hard to be patient. The fact is, some of the impatience is getting out of hand, and some people are expecting way too much of 3 people that have a lot of other things to deal with besides the webpage. I know the Jonifest 2001 webpage will be the very best ever when it is complete. In the meantime, I ask for a LOT of tolerance and patience in letting this get done in the time that works for all 3 of us. We are volunteering our time to do this for you in the little spare time we have. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the page when it is complete. Hugs, Ashara
