As many of you who visit this site may know, my father and creator of this site passed away.  Although he will be missed by many, it is our hope to keep his legacy for education alive through this site.
Another of my fathers legacies was his passion for demonstrations.  He left behind dozens of those demonstrations and we would like to offer them to anyone who may benefit from them.  Please send an email, if you are interested or know someone who might be, to geepaw@wowway.com
