Giving Credit Where Credit is Due
To those who helped me put this together and those that allowed me to hawk
their material, I thank you.
-
My patient husband Greg, who encouraged me through seven long years
of studying as I spent hours on the computer doing research,
-
My children, Todd and Emily who really couldn't care less
that their mom is "webbed", but who I think are secretly proud of me anyway,
-
To Dr. George Poinar who graciously allowed me to scan photos of beautiful
creatures and plants from his book, The Quest for Life in Amber
and who will keep me updated periodically on his research so the page can
stay fresh; I would also like to thank him for giving me a copy of
The Amber Forest, to read and do a write up for the website,
-
To Dr. David Grimaldi of the American Museum of Natural History in New
York City for permission to include photos and info from his beautiful
book, Amber: A Window to the Past and doesn't mind my presenting
both his and Dr. Poinar's opposing views on research and scientific ethics,
-
Last, but not least, to Dr. Paul Howell, geology professor at the
University of Kentucky for his belief in me and his ever growing interest
in the amber himself. He has become a valued friend and colleague
and I owe ya' a big king sized Tootsie Roll, Pablito.
-
To my best buddy up north in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Dave Lamb.
He was my first e-mail contact and my best so far. Thanks a million
dear bye!
