I just realized that this will be my last Rainbow Connection. I have taken the St. John School website from a 4-page boilerplate rendition to the wonderful site it is today. I pulled the floppy that contained those pages, and realized that I have been doing this for a decade. How time flies!
But now it is time for the old, slow, and ugly to give way to the young, fast, and beautiful. I have loved creating this website and all the wonderful / challenging graphics that have appeared in it over the years. I truly love this school and all it stands for, and it has been my distinct pleasure to serve it as your webmaster.
God Bless all of you.
