While showing my evaluators (my daughters) around your "Refrigerator Door" we came to the conclusion that we just had to present you with our two top awards, without you applying (something we've never done before). If any site ever deserved them, yours certainly does. We've been looking through it for nearly 45 minutes, and I'm sure we will spend many more, special moments in time, visiting, learning and enjoying. Your site is very informative, original, eye pleasing, full of meaningful content, well designed and easily navigated; but most of all, it's rich in Patriotism and Heart. It's a true pleasure visiting "James S. Huggins Refrigerator Door". When we tallied your score, via our scoring system, we are all 3 in awe, as we have never had a site that totaled a full 100 out of a possible 100 before.:)

[Oct.2003]

I have found your web page . . . and I think your site deserves to have our award !
[Mar.2003]

I don't know about you, but when I am bombarded with misspelled words and sloppy editing my estimation of the site's worth begins to diminish immediately. If they can't spell or take the time to proofread, then how can I trust that the information they are giving me is correct?

Congratulations! I have just finished visiting your web site and am pleased to tell you that your web page has been selected to receive the "FLY WITH EAGLES" award presented by HART Enterprises* (www.hart1.com). This award was implemented because in 1984, as the result of an accident while serving as an officer on active duty with the US Army, I became a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down. In a veterans hospital for 10 months, I was among many young men struggling to put a sense of worth back into their lives. I always admired our national symbol, the bald eagle, for its strength, courage and beauty, and its ability to soar on the slightest of winds. It was what those of us in the hospital were trying to do - muster up the strength and courage to live our lives with the least amount of help. Now I am in a position financially, physically, and spiritually to recognize others for their efforts. Thus, the "Fly With Eagles" award was born. We surf the net looking for worthy web pages. And, in some cases, web pages are recommended to us. Your respect for proper NET ETHICS and your ability to display your web page in a LOGICAL, INFORMATIVE, and CREATIVE format places you among only a handful of web masters that have received this award.
God Bless You

AND you will be listed on a special page recognizing you as a recipient.

Any attempt at condensing a review of James S. Huggins' Refrigerator Door into a few lines would be futile. This is a site you will simply have to visit to appreciate. A wealth of content, smooth site navigation and professional design come together to provide a glimpse into the world of a unique individual. Be prepared to spend a few hours here... It's well worth it.
[Oct.2002]

I was very much impressed with the quality of your site and I could see that a great deal of time, creativity, and effort went into it. Your site received the points required to receive a PREMIER GOLD OZZ, and the HALL OF EXCELLENCE badge. [snip] The only comment I can make negative about the evaluation is that I found excessive scrolling on most pages visited, I respectfully suggest that consideration be given to using "up links" for longer pages. Excellent experience!!

NB: Inspired by these comments regarding "up links" I have added an uplink to the bottom of every page on my site. It is one more example how award programs help improve sites.

Your site is really excellent. We enjoyed surfing it.
