Kathy DeBone: Office Manager & Web Design

Kathy has been creating websites as a hobby since 2000 shortly after their move to the mainland. It started as a way to keep family and friends across the country informed about their lives, while she was a stay-at-home-mom. Tony took an interest in teaching her what he knew about HTML and it became apparent that Kathy had the design talent while Tony was very knowledgable in the web application field. Check out the Web Design Page to see her work.

Kathy volunteers in her sons classroom, La Pine Park & Recreation District and La Pine Rodeo Association. Her favorite thing to do is to spend time with her family and with her QH mare "Star".
