The Alltel Phone Company has been partially bought out by the Windstream phone company. 
As a result, the URL of this website is being changed to http://home.windstream.net/bsundquist1
Before May 15, both the usual URL http://home.alltel.net/bsundquist1 and the new URL worked. 
Now, only the Windstream URL will work.
