-- is our theme with LSTC's new web site and with the new look and streamlined content for the E.pistle. It has been our focus and a major accomplishment this summer.
 
The redesign was done on an extremely tight schedule by Web Manager Roger Bottorff and Web Master Tyler Rasmussen. They have done a superb job updating the design, improving navigation, and restructuring the site so it will be easier to maintain. And they did it all before Tyler leaves for internship in Texas.
 
Explore the site and let me know what you think. It is, as all web sites are, a work in progress.
 
May God bless your work this summer -- your going out and your returning home.
