To whom it may concern:

This letter is to recommend Greg Allen for his talents as a web site builder. Greg Allen not only created the web site for The Classic Moth Boat Association, but has tirelessly maintained the site and provided the club with invaluable technical support and expertise not only in times of trouble, which on the internet are at times daily, but he has also creatively guided us over the years as our site has become increasingly larger and gained more sophisticated content. Among the skills required to create and manage our site are the following:

The ability to adapt text and pictures from multiple sources and various formats to fit the presentation format of the web site; the ability to categorize and organize a wide variety of data into meaningful sections; the skills to establish a web site-based, interactive search engine with the capability to search by subject; the ability to set up and maintain linking capabilities to related worldwide sites; the ability and desire to insure that the site data remains accessible from a variety of search engines.

Without Greg, I doubt if we would have as great an impact as we do. Also without his stewardship, I also doubt if the club could have remained on-line with the reliability we enjoy. We are a small sailing club with a limited budget for outreach projects. This web site has permitted the club to connect with many interested individuals who had no way of contacting us, and also has permitted the club to reconnect with sailors who raced the boats 20, 30 or more years ago. This in turn has boosted our growth from a small band of thinly spread individuals with limited communication capacity to a club of nearly 100 and growing! Communication within the club has also benefited from the content on the site.

Perhaps the best way to gauge Greg Allen’s expertise is to go to our club’s web site and tour the contents: www.mothboat.com I think you will be impressed!

In closing, I highly recommend Greg Allen for consideration for any IT position requiring innovative thinking and tireless devotion to task.

Sincerely yours,

George P. Albaugh
