/* Jesse Stuart quote band — the hero's photographic treatment, but tinted in
   an archival sepia/umber instead of the hero's navy, so the two read as
   related without the home page repeating itself.

   Added 17 July 2026. To drop it: remove this file and its <link>, and revert
   the quote <section> in index.html to a plain <section class="section">
   containing just the .pullquote div. */
