Over time, this web site has grown by leaps and bounds. Mid-1998 has especially been a period in which the amount of information, photographs, maps and other artifacts on the site has exploded. So, as can be expected, I could not put all of this data together without some help. Though I do all of the html coding myself, many sources have contributed to the vast collection of information on the web site and they deserve to be credited for their assistance. Below are the various sources grouped by category. A thanks goes out to all how have contributed!
A special thanks to Tony Coppoletta for coming up with the initial design proposals for the site's current graphic design, as well as continuing to collaborate on the site's continued visual evolution.
