RAMS website update log
This is a brief log of what was changed since April 1, 2006 when I took over as webmaster.
Many thanks to Mike Pilkenton for his creation of the initial RAMS website, a job well done!
I hope to continue to maintain and expand this website to be useful to the RAMS members and to those who may be interested in joining the RAMS.
Note: This log will not always include an entry for the No-Fly Calendar which may at times be updated by Keith Numbers or Mike Pilkenton as needed when I am unavailable. Basically if I do the update for the No-Fly Calendar, this log will include an entry, if I do not, the entry may lag the update until I get a chance to add an entry here. The No-Fly Calendar will be updated as needed regardless of this log.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact the webmaster
Thanks, Joe Mekina, webmaster
