Note:

This site is programmed using Netscape Composer.  As we do so, each page is viewed through a variety of browsers to closely monitor online quality.

As we now REpublish the site, we're having some difficulty with broken links, and missing animations and photos which are uploaded to the server, but which do not appear online.  We're exploring methods of further correction.

IF YOU VIEW THIS THROUGH ANY BROWSER OTHER THAN NETSCAPE, you will unfortunately experience an even more extensive corruption of these features.

We must therefore strongly urge that you download Netscape Navigator and use it to browse this and other sites which may appear oddly in other browsers.

Greetings!
WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE YOUR VISIT.
A polite caution before viewing our site --

We carefully edit these pages in Netscape Composer, which is all that we were once allowed on this server.

Now that other editing resources are available, we are entirely too far into this to change quickly, and haven't had time to learn the new programming software.

If you view our site through browsers other than Netscape, it is common that formatting, colors, graphics and fonts are corrupted, as well as some animated features do not function!

PLEASE --
Consider viewing our presentation through Netscape, the way we've meant it to be seen.  If you don't have Netscape downloaded into your system, you may easily do so by clicking on the animated icon provided below. 
Also --
This site is programmed in the latest upgrade of  NETSCAPE COMPOSER via Qwest.net 640Kb DSL
PROPORTIONATE to 600 X 800 pixel screen display.
.
FONTS may appear to be corrupted unless your platform uses
Windows 98© Second Edition, or later.
.
Site is located on Gonzaga University's IMEX Server.

Again -- we appreciate your visit and hope that perhaps we'll hear from you!

 Oops --
Often under severe time constraints, this site is maintained "on-the-fly" (but often!), and therefore may contain some minor typographical, editorial or informational errors, until later editing sessions, at which time they should be corrected.
However, if you feel we've consistently overlooked something, or have our facts scrambled,
just lay it on us!!  We have broad Celtic shoulders!!

How Is "CELTS" Pronounced?

When translating from Gaelic into English, both C and K are correctly pronounced with a hard K sound.  It is therefore only correct to pronounce CELTS as if spelled KELTS.  Indeed, some translators to English spell it that way.

Other examples are:

So much for basketball teams in Boston!

By intelligently pronouncing these and similar words, you show rudimentary civility and respect toward this great culture, its traditions, its modern adherents, and to the countless contributions all have made to the enrichment of humankind over the centuries.   [rwr, 8-98]
