Hi, Folks! and
Holiday Greetings 2010!


We have just posted our Holiday Greetings and annual Newsletter for 2010 at http://members.verizon.net/philip.sidel/greetings2010/ There is also a link (http://members.verizon.net/philip.sidel/album2010/) to a gallery of photos of family highlight occasions during this year. . Hope you will enjoy this update on our year's events. And we hope you will have a wonderful 2010.

By the way, I think this is the first update I have made to my website since I posted our last newsletter in December 2009. For the time being, I am leaving that year old newsletter on-line at: http://members.verizon.net/philip.sidel/greetings2009/ with photos at: http://members.verizon.net/philip.sidel/album2009/

Our love to all.... Phil and Irene Sidel

 I've set up this website to tell you a bit about myself, my family, and some of my interests.
I will also try to maintain a "news" page about recent and coming events and activities in my life. (So far I have not done well in keeping that up-to-date)

To make this site easy to navigate here is how I have structured it: At or near the top and at or near the bottom are buttons to take you to the major topics at my site -- Currently there are six of them.

  • This home page.
  • A Guest Book & Contacts page
  • A Reminiscences page with Biographical and Anecdotal stuff
  • Pages on My Family (including some genealogy)
  • Pages on My Interests including:
    • my CLIMBING Pages
      (trip reports, photos, links to the Pitt Outdoors Club, Explorers Club of Pittsburgh, and other selected websites.)
    • my COMPUTING pages (my experiences, especially those associated with developing this website.)
  • The News Page.
         (So far, I have not done well at maintaining that)

On every page you will find a navigating menu on the left side. It will contain buttons to get you to:

  • The "parent" page of the page you are viewing.
  • The other sub-pages of that "parent" page. (I call them the "sibling pages")
  • The sub-topic pages of the current page you are viewing.

What's New on Phil's Web Pages!

  • I have added some reminiscences about my life experiences with Mathematics and with Sports.
    For want of a better place to put them, I have uploaded them into my Reminiscences > Obsservations pages.

  • New Climbing Trip Reports and Photo Galleries
    are frequently added to my Interests > Climbing > Phil'sTrips pages

  • The Geocities Website, where I used to post our annuall Season's Greetings and Newsletter, has closed down. For 2009, I am posting it on a new page
    I will try to find someplace to post an archive of Newsletters from years past.
