Hi Everyone! Wishing you a happy and safe Fourth of July. For me this year has a little different spirit due to the tradgedy of 9/11; it is my first real experience (as with many Americans) with the concept that Freedom isn't Free. It also serves to remind me how fragile life can be. Stop in to see my special article on the Did You Know page.

We had a few staff changes in June. Welcome to Barbara as our new RingMistress, Lady as our Gifshoppe Keeper, and Erldene as our Goodwill Ambassador!

This last month I accomplished the awesome task of redoing the file manager for the Photo Album. Soon (notice no actual time commitment) I will be redoing the FYI filemanager

Make sure you stop into to see this month's Featured Poster page. This is someone who has done much for HPO. The recongnition is well derserved and way overdue. Soon I will get some of our new staff members onto a Featured Poster page so you can get to know them better.

Have a great month everyone!

Awards Program Director

Hello HPO! The Awards Program was a little slow for the month of June. Maybe it's due to the heat and summer when everyone would rather be outside having fun. :-) Come on and send in those sites, you won't win unless you enter. Are you all ready for the 4th of July celebrations? Fireworks and family get togethers? I know that I am. :-) Have a safe and fun time. Until next time, Sherry
