I am very proud of what I have done. I also created & designed a page for the Port Jervis Fire Departments, Port Jervis Vol. Amb Corp, and Blooming Grove Pa's, Matamoras Fire Departments, with the assistance of the Chiefs of the Department. If the pages are not updated, then I did not get updates from those departments.
Port Jervis Fire Department web page geocities locked me out. That can not be changed.
Christie was 8 years old when she started her web page! This she has done all on her own.
I think it is very important to sign guest books, I know how much work is done on a web page some more than others, but alot of work. Please sign all guest books. Really means alot to everyone.
