(This page was updated July 13, 2023.) As of December 6, 2016, we were finally able to edit our web site again after many years of not having access due to an out of date web page building program. The entire site is continually being reviewed and put into a more useable format. The original task for this project was headed by Logan Wenzel, who is a Computer Science Engineer. Take a moment to read about Logan's excellent work on this project, just simply click here.
