On this day (Nov 10), in 1995, I uploaded the first iteration of what would become Stovebolt.com to the server at Aloha.net just before Peggy and I headed to the Pacific Ballroom at the Hilton Hawaiian Village (on the beach in Waikiki) for the U.S. Marine Corps Birthday Ball.

But YOU all have made it what it has become.

A great ride so far, more to come!

Thank you,
John and Peggy

Edited Nov 2025. Merged the Birthday messages from 2022 and 2023. We moved from MD to AL in 2024 and wasn't set up to do much for 2024. So, for 2025 - being the 30th year - we will have new space below for this year. salute2
