A special thanks goes to Barney Avenatti for his technical help and advice
lent to the project of turning this dot-com into a 'real' web site.   (Not to
mention all the times he's successfully resuscitated my pc after yet
another disasterous crash.)  You're one smart cookie, Barney!  

Thanks, also, to my daughter Shannon for design help with this site, and
especially for being a tireless photo editor ("That one's better, Mom...in the
other one the subject is too small,") and for being my own personal
cheerleader when I'm ready to quit.  You're the best, my Shannon-one!
