This page is to provide a lasting acknowledgement to all of those people who have helped make this web site as great as it is. Without the assistance of all of these people, in their myriad ways, this web site would not be nearly as comprehensive as it is. Further, there are some who have asked that their name not be published - people, you know who you are and you have my most grateful appreciation for your assistance and input into this most worthwhile website.

Thank you.

Thanks to the following for their overwhelming support:
Jim Crumpacker, who had the vision right at the start - I hope this site has met your expectations.
Scott Boa - the gentleman who constantly amazes me with patches from all corners of the globe!! Plus Heinz Hachenberg & Tony Leung.
