Connie F

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

"This is a photo my father sent back to his wife and children back in Portugal shortly after arriving in the U.S. He is aboard the Connie F, a wooden boat owned by his brother Joseph, accompanied by the husband of his youngest sister, Gloria. The owner of the boat sponsored all but one of his siblings into the country and all men worked on the Connie F for different periods of time even when none of them had been fishermen in Portugal. Location: Pier 3."
