Phil: don't let that website go for free whatever you do..take the content 
down, sit on it, whatever, but don't give it away lol.
It's probably worth 10K at least.

Subject: My Website Is Going Down

I started red white and blue.org 17 years ago; writing the entire =
website by hand using the html coding which I learned from Cathy Murtha. =
At one time, I owned 6 domain names and had at least three sites all =
going at one time.  For the last couple of years, and to some degree, I =
haven't had the enthusiasm to keep my personal site up and running.  =
This is partly due to my hands not being as strong as they once were, my =
physical health not being what it once was before all my surgical =
procedures on my spine, and just a lack of interest.  It is possible I =
may change to another domain name but I'd have to modify all the html =
used in red white and blue and I'm not currently considering that but it =
could happen.  I was recently contacted by a retired police officer.  =
Due to experiences in his own life, he wants to start a website that =
will work with other websites, and organizations, who help Fire =
fighters, red, Emergency Medical personnel, White, and police officers, =
Blue.  He has been trying to find a sight that would go with that theme =
as a domain name when he ran across mine.  Frankly, I've been thinking =
about letting the domain drop since it isn't a high traffic site any =
longer , and there is no sense in reinventing the internet wheel when so =
many other blind folks have put up their own fine sites.  There is a lot =
of good information out there.  I can't see trying to maintain, or =
reproduce, such other quality informational blind sites since a lot of =
other blind people are doing such a wonderful job.  In short, in a few =
days, or weeks, RedWhiteAndBlue.ORG will be under other ownership but =
doing great things for amazing people who need assistance due to the =
stress of their job as professionals.  I feel honored this former cop =
even asked me if I would be interested in helping them get started.  So, =
in other words, it all has come at the right time.  The change of =
ownership is in process so if any of you are using my site for a home =
page that comes up first thing, don't be surprise if you find it missing =
for awhile as the hand over is accomplished.  Thanks to everybody who =
has used Red White and Blue over the years.  If I come back up with =
another domain name and URL, I'll make that known.  My other site will =
remain as is for now and both sites are listed below.

Phil.
