As Dodie and I discussed earlier "why" she left the webring is of no
importance on this list as it was never officially announced on this list.
If any of you have any questions regarding Dodie's exit from the webring
then feel free to email myself or Dodie. THIS LIST IS NOT FOR THIS TYPE OF
DISCUSSION.

And since Dodie has officially announced the webring...those of you with
webpages and those of you who don't have webpages...check out the webring
page at:

http://www.newwave.net/~dbrown/locowerg.htm

The page has been changed to reflect the broad range of what the Logan
County Webring is and will be. And by the way, I have two cousins'
webpages in the ring so far... and IMHO they have some very beautiful
sites. :)

Thanks,

Donna
