Hi Dawn! I think your idea of a webpage is great and now we need to find a member who can and will begin one !! I am not technically competent to do it but I will help as I can. If one looks at the available Travellers/Gypsy (not a term some want us to use!)site it is filled with pictures - wonderful pictures! - that help define the people and their crafts and skills. So I, for two, am excited with your idea! Dick Matteson College Park, MD.
