A part of my life just disappeared


 So.


A webpage I made for myself many years ago while still working at ASU has all of a sudden gone POOF!  Disappeared without a courtesy warning.


http://www.appstate.edu/~barleykw/


Got in touch with the webmaster who referred me to the help desk.


Unable to sign in to the help desk with my username and password, I'm guessing because I am now a retiree, because that username and password is working fine for my email, I sent them an email which received no response.


None.


NOT even a canned "we received your email" response.


It's a clunky old webpage.  Well, it was, but now it's nonexistent.  


but the contents were precious.


Old family photos which I no longer have access to.  


Old hometown photos I no longer have access to.  


Many, many memories - gone.


At first I was pretty mad.  Now I'm sad. I'll probably get mad again, but it won't make any difference.  If I can't get anyone to even take the time to respond to my query, why would I think it's a problem that they might try to resolve?


So I guess I'm stuck with having my heartbroken.  Thanks, ASU.
