| FYI -- I just renewed the hosting for cvilleok.com for 3 more
years. I plan to let it drop offline after that time (2024) to eliminate
that expense in the future. I am making very few updates now (about
10 months into retirement). I have hundreds of other projects I
am working on now. -- Ted Wright -- May 1, 2021 ---- So, I will still have my copy of 18+ years of Collinsville happnings & history (22GB), but YOU won't be able to see it for free like now. I have other priorities now. A long term "solution" is for several Collinsville volunteers to step up and re-form the Collinsville Historical Society. It's not my job any more. |
| I should likely stop the count as cvilleok.com is mostly inactive now ... but the web site started it's 19th year March 20, 2021. -- Ted Wright |
