I just had to tell you. The new pictures on the website are great. I remember hearing about the Everett family when I was a kid. The Church we went to in Palmer was across the street from the old Everett Home. It was so big and tall, so many stories high, and such pretty woodwork trim on the porch. And, I remember the porch swing on the front porch. Anyway, I loved all the pictures, and I am sure everyone else will also.

Thanks for all your hard work.
