[NFB-Seniors] Website redesign complete

[Brian Mackey]

Thank you for your comments Mary Jo.

I think I might be at my limit in regards to website development, plus with
the national office assisting state affiliates and national divisions
migrate to the new multi-site web platform, there will most likely be
individuals with the talent to maintain a site within the state affiliate or
national division. But thanks anyway for your confidence, grin.
