This page includes a non-automated site map for the Diamond Dove Home Page.  Listings of each page and the main paragraph headings are provided.  Hyper-links are  included for each page in the site  Click on the desired page then after being transferred select the bookmarks listed under Page Contents or scroll down through the page.

One of the problems with this site is the difficulty in finding the information you need without scrolling through pages of information that you are not interested in - at the present.  While an index or a search engine would be nice, these refinements are beyond my capabilities at the present.  Perhaps in the future.

As a compromise solution we are offering this site map to direct you to the page you are interested in and then on most pages we are including a page content section that will include bookmarks that will take you to any paragraph listed below.  While this is not the best solution, we hope it will help readers find the information they are looking for easier than they could before.*
