Website Information

This website is the project of a part time computer geek, full-time Pulmonary & Critical Care fellow at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. My name is Rich, and I am Flotilla 6's "webmaster". Unfortunately I'm at a stage where my research, studying, and patient care demand full attention, and all else is secondary. Hence, I will be maintaining the website and reading your emails, but cannot guarantee immediate updates (although i should get to it within 72 hours).
Of course, I will do my best to make the site a success. To that end, and realizing the web as a free and open place for the exchange of ideas, I remind you to read and be familiar with our privacy policy, above. My pledge is that you be able to view this site properly no matter your browser or platform choice; This site uses cascading style sheets (CSS) and is certified compliant by the W3C. It was coded on a Macintosh but test viewed on both Mac and PC with Safari, Mozilla, and Firefox with no problems. I can't guarantee your results if you decide to use IE for Windows with its interpretation of "standards compliance.".

I hope you find this site useful, ask that you submit comments or suggestions to me from the Contact page, and ask that you please boat safely. Always wear your lifejacket.

Enjoy the site!
