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!
