It is with a heavy heart that the Hansen family informs you that John passed away peacefully in January 2023. We know how much John enjoyed managing this website and connecting with all of you over the years. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm.

The site will remain owned by the Hanson family and is now being maintained by a new admin.

All the best, The Hansen Family
