The job Sam has done on the Providence web site deserves a big "E" for
excellence. To my knowledge, the site has never went down, is updated on a
continuing basis and the attention he gives it shows in the detail, class and
professionalism. There is really nothing not to like - this guy is good!

Since hosting the USS Providence Reunion in 1999 in Northern Kentucky I have had the privilege of working with Sam Villa on different reunions. Through his expertize as a Web-Master he has been able to reach many members of the USS Providence by way of our Web-Site.

IF you are looking for someone to set up a Web-Site large or small I would recommend Sam Villa.

Sam, I just wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks for all the work
you've done on the web site for the USS Providence. It has been 1st class
all the way. The site is easy to find my way around in and very intuitive.
The links to other sites always work, which I know is always difficult to
keep current. The colors you use are not garish but are easy on the eye.
Visiting our web site is always a treat and working with you has been a real
pleasure.

Sam,

I continue to be very impressed with our USS Providence web page. You have and continue to do a great job. I especially like the dynamic display of icons rather than all static display. This added attention to detail brings the web page alive and gives it a vibrant flavor. Keep up the great work!

To whom it may concern
While we can say many good things about our shipmate Sam and his work
to build our Association website from concept to the main
administrative and promotional management tool of the body, the results
are there for you to see by just going to the website..
ussprovicence.org... so take a look.
In my years working as management in the corporate world before
retiring I've seen task teams from the IR ( information resources )
Dept. that would be lucky to match Sam's results.

Sam Villa has provided a website that is very professional, easy to follow and pleasant to look at. His attention to detail and history makes this a top pick in my "favorites" section of the internet. He has provided an avenue that has brought many men and women together to share on a past that is filled with Glory, fun times and many memories.
