In 2001 Severn Hayward, Diana's grandson, was in a car crash resulting in permanent brain damage due to brain shear. Severn's dad, Richie Hayward, was the drummer for the Little Feat band. The band started a fund raiser for Severn. Rick (? can't remember his last name) was the web master for the Little Feat band and he created and maintained this website for the fund raiser for Severn. After the fund raiser was completed in 2005, Ernie inherited it from Rick. Ernie has maintained it since that time. Yearly revisions were made until 2013, then again in 2015.
Diana's Artwork and her Dad - Charlie Gemora's web pages have remained static over the years. The Ernie pages have been revised several times to evolve to the current design.
Between 2015 and 2018, Youtube, which hosts the videos used, changed the method of delivering videos, requiring extensive modifications to the video code to cause a single video to load only when requested and stop playing when the video was closed (closing the window still runs the video in the background). Some coding assistance was required. Pages containing non-artwork (eppies, godstone, landscapes) were deleted and two additional pages of Ernie's artwork (relics) were added along with the Bronze Casting Foundry video for the Tutorial page.
