I have been a way for a while, but Wes's site says that the account has been suspended??  
Was there no way that we could keep everything online at www.thestraights.com?  
It would be such a shame to lose all of his work.

I do want it make it known to anyone that may have the authority to pass such a baton that I would be more than honored to take thestraights.com into the fold and give it a home to preserve all of Wes' work.  

Ginger and I helped to salvage and resurrect kidsofnorthjersey.com when it was having difficulty and was in danger of going away forever.  I found it a good home and it is still online today.    
 
My primary focus since 2001 has been my own website at kidsofelpaso.com, but I am certain that I have enough room for thestraights.com.  

I would certainly hate for all Wes' efforts to be stifled because hosting bills didn't get paid, etc.

What happened?! I distinctly remember reading in one of these threads, shortly after Wes' death, that the site would be maintained and kept available. Did someone drop the ball?

Looks like.  Main problem I see is nobody ever knew who had the ball.  It *is* a shame.  Hopefully there is a way to pay his bill on his behalf or something like that.

If someone organizes the technicalities, I will send a MO to keep it going. NO joke.

Aw, now I feel abashed for having spent some time WHO spectating and speculating the WHO topic. Though, I have to admit that was fun.
Anyway, I would be happy to contribute to some of the cost of preserving Mr. Fager’s information. Hopefully, someone will find a way.

I thought Bradbury had that under control... what's up? I sure hope all's not lost.

Well, money's not a problem. There are several people, in addition to yenz above posters, who are ready to pay a hosting fee. If I can gain authorization from the hosting provider, I was just going to move everything over here. (Now here, we still have a few bucks outstanding but I'm sure it'll get covered before it's very late).

The trouble is just getting the authorization letter, well written and properly worded, from a grieving widow without troubling her too much over these niggling details.

Patience is all we need, really.

good to hear. Maybe she would like to keep it going? Or his son?

Mr. Fager's sites will be back up shortly.  Steps have been taken to assure nothing is lost.  Kindly be patient.  Thank you Brill
