NORRIS RECOMMENDATIONS --page 1

      The internet has more worthy sites and pages than you can ever find the time to visit. It also has more than enough JUNK to go around.  Let someone else have your share of the garbage. This page is my attempt to link to sites and pages that have been recommended to me by personal acquaintances, journals, magazines, and/or organizations that have earned my respect. Of course, I have also included sites that I personally have found to be quite fascinating or worthwhile. I hope you find some of the sites of interest. If you do find any site to contain objectionable, offending, or false information -- please E-mail me by going to the bottom of this page.

I STRONGLY recommend the links ending with a bold "Page" and those marked with *****.  I cannot accept responsibility for the content of external sites.

This page is best viewed 800 x 600.
