You might have lots of text like this in your page:

 
 
 
 
 

You need to delete them. Also, try to look for something like this:

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

This too needs to be deleted.

Give us a link to your page so that we can have a look at it.

The W3C Validator shows 316 errors and 6 warnibgs.

I noticed immediately that there is no </body> tag and no </html> tag.
Thise shouled defiitely be added at the end of the file.

There's also no <title></title> tag pair in the <head> section.

It also doesn't fit into a typical window without horizontal scrolling.
I have a 17" screen, 1440x900 pixels and the browser open full screen,
and it still doesn't ft. Most people prefer no wider than 760 pixels,
to fit an 800 pixel wide window. Try reducing to two columns, and
possibly split the page to separate pages, as it's very long.

As for the space problem, it is due to mismatched table cells and rows
(rowspans) and a height attribute:

Find this just before MY TIME HAS COME:
<td align="right" valign="top" height="14892">
Replace it with
<td align="right" valign="top">

Find this before HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LARRY AND VI:
<td rowspan="4" valign="top" width="320">
Replace it with
<td valign="top" width="320">

Find this before TWO FINGERED TAPPING:
<td rowspan="3" valign="top">
Replace it with
<td valign="top">

Find this before src="billy1_files/100_1572.JPG":
<td rowspan="3" valign="top">
Replace it with
<td valign="top">

Those changes will clear the space problem, but the other errors should
really be fixed too. The code is all run together, there are countless
ways to clear multiple coding of the same style over and over, etc.
