Uh, this isn't the normal site. What happened?

Nothing, it still works.

Discussion board is still down though.

It was down last week.

obviously down from the tsunami / earthquake in south east asia. i believe the site's creator / webmaster lives in that region. i am in fairly frequent contact with him & i've collaborated with him on a number of contributions to the site. i just emailed him a few days ago & no reply as of 1/1/05. will keep all posted. happy new year, tom

He may not, but I believe that he frequents the lesser PNG area.

thanks for the enlightenment. wow for a kid from upstate new york how the hell does he afford the frequent trips to that area of the world??? it takes big bucks $$$$$$!!!! as well as good planning & good government connections, not to mention some regions are so remote & much of indonesia is inaccessible to americans & europeans in general. they keep tight borders, something we should have done after 9/11. take care, tom

Hi all,

Yes, the site is up. It sometimes has 'bandwith' problems, as to many viewers go to the site each day. The site is a free site, supported by donations only. For details, visit:

I am originally from Hyde Park, New York USA - FDR hometown and Rhinebeck Aerodrome nearby. I have been lucky enough to travel to the pacific a few times over the years, first with my grandfather (a wwii vet) in 1993. That got me interested in the topic. Now, i save my pennies and try to travel over there once every year or two if possible. Here is a page about me, if interested, or feel free to drop me a line:

Personally, I have never had any problems traveling, often I am told I am the first American they have seen since WWII ! For them, WWII history is still very much in the forefront of life - stories from elders and lore.

If anyone is ever interested in traveling over to that part of the world, drop me a line.

Best,
