Hi Folks,

While trying to make a change to our web site last evening, I noticed 
that the site looked like it went backwards in time. I had made several 
changes and edits while in North Carolina and a few more since I've been 
back. The section on the home page that shows the "last updated" section 
for key pages, reflected the dates as mid-June. I checked with Dan and 
he, in turn, checked with the Hosting Company. Apparantly, the Hosting 
Company had a mjor Server Crash and the latest backup they had of our 
site was from mid-June1 I edit the site "LIVE" on the server and rarely 
back up to my system because the Hosting Company does nightly (???) 
backups of our data! Anyway, the hosting service is free and I've got 
some work to do!!! Sorry for the nostalgia... I'll get it back up to 
date as soon as I can! Just remember... there's nothing like a "RECENT 
BACKUP" to save time later!
