The August issue of The Clan Galbraith Association journal, The Red Tower, is now available for viewing or download in our website “Members Only” area.  Lots of good articles and news!

The May 2008 issue of The Red Tower journal of The Clan Galbraith Association is now available for download in our website “Members Only” area.  Our Editor, “Taffy” Satter has produced another outstanding issue.

It is available in two parts.  Part 1 is all the articles and text pages, and is small enough to download with a dial-up internet connection.  Part 2 is 4 pages of photos of our our association’s 14th biennial gathering, held in Huntersville, North Carolina. Part 2 is over five megabytes and will take quite a while to download via dial-up modem.  The pictures are really great, though, and it will be worth your time to suffer the long download.

Looks like they are having fun!

The Clan Galbraith Association apologizes for any website anomalies that have occurred recently.  Our Website Administrator and Librarian, Gayle Galbraith, has been hospitalized since mid-January with a severe acute pancreatic attack and he faces yet another month in the hospital, followed by a lengthy recuperation at home.  He and his family ask for your prayers in his recovery. Please contact Joyce Higginbotham, the Clan Secretary, at joyceh@pahrump.com if you have trouble with the website.  We thank you for your patience during this time.

Go HERE to see the 2008 CGA Gathering Schedule.  We meet April 14th-17th in Huntersville, NC. Most of the details are finalized and this gathering is shaping up to be a really good one.  When you visit the Gathering pages, don’t forget to fill out the online questionairre.  This doesn’t commit you to attending.  It is just a planning tool for the Gathering Coordinators.

The photos from the 2006 Gathering are finally posted.  To see them click HERE .

The latest version of the Clan Galbraith Association Library is now available on One DVD.  Better optimization of PDF file sizes allows us to cram all three of the old library DVDs contents onto one DVD, plus new content has been added.  The new library contains all of the available Red Tower Journal back issues (27 years) and the Galbraith Genealogy, History, and old photos, totaling over 16,100 pages.

The new library version is available to members for $10.00 and to non-members for $30.00, which includes one year of CGA membership.  You may purchase the library online HERE

Nearly all of the web pages on the Clan Galbraith Association website have been changed to make the page display more compatible with the Firefox web browser. The pages still display slightly better in MS Internet Explorer, but now work better with Firefox, also.

All of the changes are “under the hood” and won’t be noticed unless there is an error on a page. If you notice an obvious error in any page display, please notify the WebSite Admin via the link on our home page. “Techie” comments are also welcome, but we are mainly interested in display anomalies that would be noticed by a casual user.

So says the headline in our May Red Tower cover, shown in the preceeding post.
