Not likely.  This is the extended Glendenning family of Queensbury, New 
York.  Dr. Glendenning operates the Adirondack Animal Hospital there.

I didn't do the design or the coding... just negotiated a rock bottom 
price for same.  I can hardly spell "Java Script" let alone write it.  I 
mentioned this problem and was told "that's the way it is."  I didn't 
consider it significant since you can return just as easily by closing 
the window.

Because I sized, sharpened and transmitted the images before the page 
design was finished which added the stripe at the bottom.  I'll have to 
think about fixing that.  I wasn't very concerned about it since the 
phone number is on every page... but you did notice it.

Woburn, Massachusetts was incorporated in 1642 which makes it a pretty 
old town even by New England standards.  To the west of me is Lexington 
and then Concord (which you may recall from 1775 fame).  Bedford is 
adjacent to the north side of Lexington.

The incorporation document spells the name "Wooburne" which, despite the 
current spelling, is how it's pronounced today... except that in good 
Bostonian it can't really have an "r" so it's actually pronounced 
Wooob'n.  I'm not a native of this place (even though I think my 
ancestors were in on the founding) and I've been practicing the 
pronunciation for 10 years but still can't get it right.  :-)

Thanks for the feedback
