notes: I discovered that the slide show did not work on Safari (the Mac browser). I found a new program and tested it out and now it works. It also works on Netscape and older versions of Internet Explorer and Foxfire (for Macs). It appears that it works for those programs for PCs. However, it did not work for the Mac version of Opera. I added a few new photos as well. I also had to delete the photo of Christina, she did not perform for the 95 Nurses' Ball, instead it was the 96. If there are any problems with the slideshow please email me.
