From Memorial to Gallery
During the past two years, the Nathan McClain Gallery has quickly matured from an online memorial into a world-class Gallery.  With the eyes of the world upon us, the Gallery has undergone a major overhaul to make accessing information easier.  A biography overview of Nathan McClain is now available along with a chronology of his major life events.  Your stories about McClain continue to be the heart of the Gallery and have been given their own space within the Gallery.  The snapshot photos have now been grouped together making for easier viewing.  The biggest addition is the brand new Gallery specific section which finally contains About Us information.  The media section has been updated to include Press Releases and the recent Lulu interview. As with everything related to this site, please Contact Us for any suggestions, corrections, or improvements.
