Some shorts by me about my late grandfather, Jay W. Sterner:
The Hindenburg Photos: A Mystery(very popular) My grandfather took a couple of photos of the Hindenburg, and there is some
question as to when they were actually taken. The description says they
were taken the day of the disaster, but we cannot seem to confirm it.
Jay & Todd's Excellent Adventures My grandfather liked to travel, and in 1905 he and his friend Bill Glass
went to DC, where my grandfather took a number of photos. When he arrived
at the Capitol Bldg, he and his friend scurried up some abandoned scaffolding,
and found a secret hatchway. They entered it and found themselves walking
outside around the perimeter of the base of the statue. One day I went
to DC myself and tried to duplicate all of my grandfather's photos. I was
not able to duplicate the ones from the top of the Capitol dome, however.
I understand that you need permission and an escort in order to repeat
this, today.
Time-Lapse Experimentations in time-lapse videography.
Abandoned Kitties Need A Home A sort of home-made public service video that I created to help find a couple of
abandoned kitties in our neighborhood a home. Didn't take long after this video went
up for them to fine someone. :) Neighbors across the street from us had moved away
and just LEFT these two poor little kitties - who were very nice - to wait day after
day for their masters' return. OF course, they never did. It was so heart-wrenching.
:( I just had to do something.

Alachua County Area Storm Spotting Locations Project This is a project I've been slowly putting together over the years,
since about 2007, compiling areas around the county which provide for
good views of the horizon to aid in storm spotting. In some cases, it
even includes panoramic photos of sites. Meant to be a part of the
Alachua County Area Storm Spotter's Handbook (see above).

The Severe Local Storm Forecasting Primer Home Page - John S. Sturtevant [Added 04/19/2002] -
This is a page I developed for John Sturtevant's book, The Severe Local
Storm Forecasting Primer. The book teaches how to forecast severe
local storms. The book is currently out-of-print and it needed an
informational home page - a place for people to go for information on
where to find the book, and correcting some of the known errors in the
book, so I volunteered to create a page for him. Thanks to Jim
Carr/KC4MHH and Fireline BBS
for providing the space for the page.
Web Pages I've Created For Others:
Mini-Storage of Gainesville / U-Haul Penske truck rentals and supplies, mini-storage rentals. Will meet or beat
local area storage unit prices. Penske trucks are cleaner, much younger,
and MUCH better maintained fleet than the others. All trucks are three years
old or LESS, and regularly maintained. Kathy will also be glad to work with
you to find a good deal. All sorts of discount methods are available.
Silver Dragon Restaurant Excellent chinese & american cuisine. Used to be the Golden Lights Restaurant.
Run by the same family. I suffered withdrawal when they took a vacation for
year or so to visit their families abroad. :)
