- From our Web Site
Greetings everyone,
- I wanted to let you all know
that effective March 2003, Nick Messmer will be taking over as
Webmaster for the German Cultural Society’s web site. Please
communicate with him on any web related issues from that point
on.
- I want to thank everyone for
your cooperation and support these past three and a half years.
I am very glad to have had this opportunity to help establish
our web presence and watch it grow. As my family prepares for
the coming of its newest member at the beginning of July, I find
that I am unable to continue in the capacity of Webmaster.
- I extend my sincerest thanks
to Nick for his willingness to expand his horizons in this venture.
Please give him the same support that was given to me.
- Sincerely,
Sandra Christian

the house that Sandy built
- The formation and the beginning
of our web site are fairly well documented. Newsletter articles
reported about that, and they eventually found their way to the
newsletter section of our web site, where they still can be seen.
What is not so well known is how much clear and logical thinking
was required to create the core of the structure, followed by
the almost never-ending effort to build the web site according
to that plan. Sandra Christian – better known as Sandy to
most of us – was the architect and the builder of our web
site; www.germanstl.org is truly the house that Sandy built.
To see, how well it was done in the view of others, just take
an occasional look at the guestbook: compliments abound from
near and far.
- As Sandy prepares for the arrival
of the newest member of her family, we have agreed that I would
take on all web-related activities after March 1. The fact that
most of the information needed to keep the web site current is
first created at the newsletter level, should be helpful; but
should I ever need real help, I know, Sandy will be there.
- And so, personally and collectively,
our best wishes are with her and her family as she brings a new
life into this world, and we thank her for all the work she did
in establishing the presence of the German Cultural Society on
the world-wide web.
